Officially a TOUGH MUDDER

This event took place in January, but I haven't had the time to post about how it went. So here it is!!!

We had an AMAZING time. It was EXTREMELY hard, but we (I) survived. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I did way better than I imagined and kicked a lot of guy's butts on the obstacles, and we are talking the in shape dudes. Here is the official video of the day I stole from another mudder. This will give you an idea of all the obstacles (28 of them along a 12.5 mile run). Unlike the guy shooting the video, I made it across the monkey bars (greased and they spun), with out falling in the water. I made it across the balance beam with out falling in the water. I made it over all the 12 ft walls (thanks to a boost from Jearel), over, under and through EVERYTHING, including the electroshock therapy at the very end (that hurt like HELL)!!! Let's just say Jearel and I were bruised, scrapped, and suffered from soreness for about a week following the event. We LOVED it so much we preregistered for next year's tough mudder, at the end of February (thank GOD, January was way too cold), and there is talk about traveling to California's tough mudder in September (can't think of a better birthday present to myself).

This video is long, but sums up our day perfectly. While watching this keep in mind it was January, FREEZING cold, and they added bags of ice to the water obstacles.  You'll see the ice in the water on the video.

This video was made by me. The beginning is a little long, but I love the dude that gets us pumped before we start. If you make it through the dude talking, you will see us (mostly Jearel) in action (what little we captured). Don't mind the shaky camera work, again, it was FREEZING COLD!
