Tough Mudder 2012 in Salt Lake

[DiscGo]

Who else is doing Tough Mudder on Saturday?

@jumar discovered that one of the "mystery obstacles" is "Walk the Plank" and I'm excited about it.

[DOSS]

I am supposed to be volunteering Sunday morning...

[Deathcricket]

Gonna be fun! See you there buddy.

Been practicing my cannonballs in the canyons all summer.

Here is an updated course map:

WTF? This is the first I've heard of this. Ya'll are gonna freeze yer nads off...




EDIT: Just Pre-registered for next year's Utah Tough Mudder in June 2013. Which one of you ladies is IN?

[rockgremlin]

@Deathcricket are you participating in Tooele on Saturday with @DiscGo?

[Deathcricket]

Yeah buddy! You should just join our crew next year or we can join yours.

Plus neither Discgo or his buddy Austin drink beer, so I need someone to help finish theirs.

I don't have a crew. Can I be in yours?


Will you be my friend?

You get DiscGo's brew, I get Austin's.

Have you guys trained? And if so, what have you done to train?

Dude I been training hardcore! I uhhh... Well I uhhhh.... Let's see... Nope nope haven't trained at all....

Does doing Imlay count? Although that was wayy easier than everyone makes it out to be. I go canyoneering every weekend and mtn biking every once in awhile, mostly thursdays. This event is only 12 miles and you get a beer at the end, what could go wrong?

[Deathcricket]

I'm actually most worried about the electric shocks. I friggin hate getting zapped....

[DiscGo]

I think it is too late for this year, but if you can join we would love to have you!

I have been running, swimming, biking, and doing pull-ups and still don't feel at all ready for it. Even though it is going to hurt, it is going to be awesome! This is one of those events that you will look back on for years with pride that you accomplished it (I hope).

@jumar is also doing it but he has his own cool group of friends. When I signed up for this, I contacted @Deathcricket to do it with me.

Contrary to how he comes across online @Deathcricket is actually a really cool guy in real life :D

There are 6 of us in the group, and I don't think anyone but DC drinks. So he will be going home hammered :D

[rockgremlin]

Ya, I'm not ready for it this year anyways. I'm starting to train for next year's TM this month (next year's is in June).


Those zap strings don't hurt at all. Don't worry about that. The guys depicted in that youtube vid are pussies. Several years ago a local haunted house had a dark hallway inside that had those zapstrings hanging from the ceiling. As I recall, the zaps didn't hurt......unless they hit your tooth. I know this b'cuz I had my mouth open, laughing as we were walking through, and one of those hit my front tooth, which DID hurt. So just keep your mouth shut through the hanging zapstrings and you'll be fine.

Hey what time do think you'd anticipate finishing on Saturday? I might wander over to Tooele and meet ya'll at the finish line.

[Deathcricket]

uhh let's see our start is 8:20 sooooo.... 3 hours? Honestly never done something like this though. But I finished xterra and saint george tri's at an average pace. And am assuming our group will stick together to help each other out. I'll be easy to spot, my mohawk is currently blue and I have a big huge Punisher skull on my wetsuit. :)

ohh and my wife Angela will be there at the finish. She also has blue hair in a short pixie cut. Stop by and say hi. Woohoo!

I'll bet we'll finish around 11:50 or so. Our start time is 8:20 (yuck!) and it is supposed to take 3 hours, and I'll bet we'll be just a little bit slower than average.
