I just completed the longest cold day of my life!!! It was 12 miles with the temperature hovering at a high 45 degrees. The Chernobyl jacuzzi was 30 degrees of life zapping cold that took your breath away from you! I had a blast doing it with some Ranger buddies and LEOs I work with. Can't wait to do the next one!!!!

I ran the tri-state that they had just about this time last year. Man, who'd think that water in November would be COLD? Did they use the obstacle with the electric fence wires hanging down? That was our "surprise" obstacle. I thought it was a joke until I was halfway through...
Good job on completing it. If you're like my buddy and I, you might have taken a few scrapes along the way. Do yourself a favor and pay attention to them.
He and I ran it together, with the only difference being that he fell off the balance beams, and I didn't. He wound up in the hospital for almost a week with a nasty infection in his legs, I didn't. If you got any cuts, and went in the water after, you might even think about getting a dose of prophylactic antibiotics...

I was really hoping to do the one in Atlanta in Feburary, but I can't this year. Maybe next.

Few of the Uni boys were considering starting a team for the March 31st Event down on Phillip Island.
Although i just realised i'm 120kg and 6"1, and have near 0 muscle content.
Fatty's goin' on a diet.

Re: Just finished the Tough Mudder in Attica, IN
Well me and a mate started running today, gonna try to get fit-ish enough for it.
Is everyone there flat out running? Or is it more of a jog/death-march between obstacles?

I'm signing up for the one next October (21 I believe) in Maysville. A few friends and I got the idea that it would be fun. I'm already looking forward to it.
Did you train for it at all? Was it more or less difficult than you had trained for/anticipated?
