Has anyone had any experience doing the Tough Mudder events? (toughmudder.com)

My Husband wants us to make a team and sign up together...am a bit nervous its going to be a bit hard core for me and wondered if anyone has had any experience?

    Never done it, but there was one recently down on Phillip Island! Some people I know went in it. Lots and lots of queues waiting for each drill, and Im not sure they expected to be doing so much standing around!

    From what I've heard, they're lots of fun! Is your hubby terribly competitive?

    I just completed my 1st Tough Mudder this weekend in PA with my husband and 13 other people... it was awesome. I started doing mud runs last year with the Warrior Dash and the Zombie run for your lives. Great starter races, as they are only 3-4 miles. Look on active.com and find out what races are close to you BUT just DO IT!!!

    They're not timed, so it's all about completing the obstacles. If you can't complete one, you go around and move on to the next. I want to do one next year, but my kids look at me funny when I try and maneuver the monkey bars at the playground lol
