Yup, I registered on the weekend. I've been talking a lot of smack about beating my husband so I hope finish before him, lol. We have a friendly bet going. If I win, he's buying me a Lululemon hoodie and if he wins I have to buy him a couple of video games.0

I hope you win!! Those lulumon hoodies look awesome!!! I'm still waiting for my team info to register. I cant wait!! I'm going to use this as practice for Tough Mudder in Toronto in August.0

I'm registered for I believe the 1030 heat on the third. Now that they have settled on the Rideau Carleton Raceway, my friends and I have been planning some recon. The area is pretty flat, any hills are going to be long and low (it's reclaimed farmland for the most part), it's also heavily wooded behind the track/stables with a small swamp area. There is a main access road that runs from the Demolition Derby/Parking lot area to Bank street that is approximately 1.5km in length. From the Bank Street side there is street parking and a sign that says dog walkers are welcome and you can access that road and most likely the wooded areas on either side for exercising your dog. We are going to be making some plans once the weather is nicer/not melt-y etc to check the place out and see what might be in store for us. I will keep this updated with any plans we make for that if anyone here doing the race wants to join us.0

That was an insane amount of mud lol. I didnt do that good in time cause i was doing it with a friend. I'm doing the BEAST though and it's going to be all about me!0
-
Oh man that mud was so entirely gross. How is everyone feeling a few days after? I"m pretty banged up, my bruises are coming out all over. My elbows and knees are scraped/cut/bruised but everyone last one of them was so worth it! I had the time of my life.
Fail at any obstacles? Take any burpees on purpose?
I took burpees at the vertical rope climb because there was just no way i was even goign to get 3 feet off the ground much less to the top. I got burpees at the javlen throw as well for missing. Almost had it but not quite. The obstacle that scared me the most was the rope wall in the forest, I was not a fan of clinging for my life while people scrambled up and down.0 -
I'm feeling great! I'm doing Insanity and running to prepare for the BEAST June 30th.
I didnt do the rope climb. I've never climbed a rope before and I have no idea how to do it. I found a place to practice so maybe ill be able to do it next time. I also did burpees for the wall rope climb then ended up doing it anyways lol. Was a lot of fun

I want to do the Beast but i will be travelling
I loved the mud the fact that it rained a bit before was more fun.
The only one that i did't like was the looooog crawl in the mud, my knees and elbows were destroyed0 -
I also got pink eye from getting mud in my eyes and I know about 15 other people who did too. Totally gross.
Good luck at the beast on the 30th Tuneses!0 -
Thanks!!! I'm training like a beast lol
I am happy I did think about what could be in the mud till i was done. After I was thinking for sure some people urinated in there. Yuck!0 -
it was a good go....for sure I will be there next year!!!0

I am not travelling anymore, so i am doing the BEAST too !
I will probably die !!!0 -
How did the Beast go for you guys ? My friends who did it were just flattened by it but so happy they finished!0
-
It was so intense!!! My legs are still in so much pain. I really dont know how I got up the mountain the last time. Bar none the hardest thing i've ever done and i've been through Army Basic training. I'd do it again though.0
