Tough Mudder

One of my friends from Ragnar invited me to do a Tough Mudder race.

I am so glad I agreed! I was worried because I do not have great upper body strength but I put for the effort and followed their training schedule and I survived the 12 miles and 20+ obstacles.

 The shot of my legs is in case the picture above made you think there was not actually mud.

There was plenty and there was a lot of water and even some electricity. 

 Here is our team after. This was the 3+ race for 3 of the guys. 

The picture before the race before we got muddy! 

I loved this race because it was not timed- it was all about finishing and getting through the obstacles. I did so much better on some of the obstacles than I thought I would. I had some crazy bruises for the next 10 days after but they were well earned and totally worth it. It is a team event because you could not make it through most of the obstacles without the help of other people- just like life really.
