Have you done the warrior dash or tough mudder?

I am sooooooooo far from my goal weight, but I am signed up for Warrior Dash in September. My goal for it is just to finish! I will try every obstacle, and if I can't do it, I'll move on. I signed up in an effort to push myself and have a mini goal to work towards.
*I'm secretly more than a little scared!*

You sound like me!! From what I've heard it's not as hard as people think. I'm signed up to do it in October and even though I'm a little scared. I plan on trying my best and if there's an obstacle my body is refusing to do, then I'll move on. No matter how long it takes me to finish, I can't wait to have that feeling of accomplishment and being able to say yes I did do it!

Hi Guys,

I just got into running these mud races and had no idea that it would be this much fun. To me these races are my new addiction and as soon am I am done with one I find myself anxiously looking forward to the next one. So far I have done following:

Rugged Maniac 5 k
Warrior Dash 5 k
Super Sparton 8 miles

and currently signed up for tough mudder and Down and Dirty to take place in November and October respectively. I was hoping for it to be harder then Super Sparton but I think I read somewhere on this blog or somweher else that its not harder then Sparton so I am kind of down about that but hoping that its chanlleging enough.

Please let me know if you know any other mud races which are inalign with Super Sparton.

Am I writing in girl's blog? Is there a guy blog that talks about this? Sorry new in these blogs writing.

This isn't a blog, you are on the forums. There are no "girls" or "guys" area, it's for anyone on the site.

i havent done it, but i just watched the boyfriend do this yesterday...he could have trained more and his buddies DEFINTELY but i would say REALLY train for endurance and hiking lots of hills. he said the toughest part was the greased half pipe and lots of poeple were having trouble with that. but if you run it i would DEFINITELY wear those spandex type of clothes that cover your entire body as there are a lot of poeple that came out with scrapes and torn up lets and knees and hands so wear gloves if you can just in case. but again, endurance is key in the tough mudder, train to climb lots of hills and also if you want, its only for a minute but get used to the cold weather, especially the ice bath run. there is a part, especially if your in a group of the log carrying, uhmm..over all get used to climing walls when your DEAD tired and worn out. lots of climing greased things and hills would be your best bet to train for. the course is about 10 miles long and they usually hold these at hilly places. yesterday here in VA they had it at a ski resort. i would like to do this but unfortunately, my asthma wont let me survive it.

for you girls, there were actually lots of girls doing this so dont let that discourage you!! overall i think its an awesome experience and leaves you wanting to do it again and again and you can wear that orange headband proud!
