Anyone here ever completed a Tough Mudder event?

Me and some buddies are thinking of doing one, but we don't know anyone whose done one..

What'd you think? Did you like it?

I've done a warrior dash. It's ok I might do it again sometime but I doubt it. Was very disorganized and just left a bad taste in my mouth. I've heard it's like a watered down version of a tough mudder.

So I'll be doing a tough mudder in may at the one in Oklahoma to verify the difference.

Just don't be one of those people that posts their orange headband pics all over facebook.

Did one a few years back. It was a lot of fun. I recommend you put some miles in before the event; though, the course was almost 12 miles.

Eta: it was the one near Dallas.

I tried, but I almost died.

Two of my younger buddies made it though .... well, three actually. But they do not smoke cigars or have black mistresses so once they got my heart started again I met them at the finish line with moonshine and beer and some homemade porn I made with some of the bitches and me.

In the end they were actually more envious of me than I of them.

Except my buddy from Idaho ... he thinks I'm a racist and he is a health nut.

I've completed two. Don't like it, would much rather run marathons.

Just not a fan of being shocked.

Yeah, did one last year, scheduled to do one in a couple weeks. The obstacles aren't that bad. If you can't run 5 miles straight without stopping, then you don't need to try it.

Overall I've enjoyed them. Definitely an event you need to do with a group and not solo

Looks like a lot of fun. I'll probably never do one, though.

So you pay money to run through a muddy obstacle course?

It was pretty fun. LOADS of hot girls there. That alone made it worth it.

They aren't bad, plus there is usually some music after, plus hot girls. Beats military obstacle runs in boots n utes.

I Completed the 2012 TM in Poplar Bluff Mo. I did every obstacle to perfection at 39 years old. I trained by running just 12 miles per week or so and flipping a huge tractor tire 120 times per week ...along with some weight training..I was told by some mudders who had completed several TM's that Poplar Bluff was their most challenging one. I'm ex-military so it wasn't a big deal to me...much of it was mental or the ability to hype yourself up. It was about 11 miles with over 20 obstacles. Oh yea ...You will get shocked with 10,000 volts..no big deal though.
