This past weekend I completed my first Tough Mudder with two active clients and one former client of mine. The four of us set out early Saturday morning to concour the event that last year jacked up my ankle, cost me a pair of Vibram Five Fingers, and had me carted of the course. At 8:20 am we set out for the 11-mile run riddled with over 15 obstacles - and we concoured! Two hours forty minutes later we crossed the finish line covered head-to-toe in mud, shocked (electrically), and in dire need of a hot shower. Unfortunately, the sweatband you receive as a finisher medal was lost, so I guess I will just have to do it again next year!
With the conclusion of the Tristate Tough Mudder, this year I have completed four races which is the most I've done in one calendar year. It all started with a Spartan Race in June, Warrior Dash in August, Nation's Triathlon in September, and most recently the Tough Mudder in October. What's on the agenda for next year, you ask? A 50k in February and then onto the Spartan trifecta - the sprint, dash and beast all in one year. Yes, I am crazy.
