I completed tough mudder yesterday, does anyone know how I would go about inputting that into my exercise diary? I normally wear a fit bit but couldn't really do that with the water, mud and various other awful moments!

    I wore a fitbit on one. It was just over 21000 steps. Add in the calories for the climbing and crawling. I’m over 200#, so I estimate I burned in the 1500 calorie range.

    I'd say closer to 2,500 calories. 11 miles plus 25 strenuous obstacles, hills, quick sand type mud.

    The average 200 lb person will burn 2,000 calories during a mini marathon and you will burn more during a TM.

    Thank you! It was extremely muddy due to a thunder storm half way round (wouldn't be England without rain) so that would have burned more calories I'm guessing.

    I don't feel quite so bad eating my Chinese after now!
