I'm on my way to my first obstacle course race (Tough Mudder 5k) and all of the sudden I'm in full blown race morning panic.

I haven't done any races in over 4 years... I forgot this adrenaline dumping!

It's also a whopping 57* here... these could be some COLD water obstacles.

    Ahhhh... much better once we got on site. First time I've ever had a race start not first thing (noon start time) and that gave my brain waaaaay too much time to think about it.

    It was tons of fun, and the 5k was very accessible to any fitness level. I'm in good shape, found it easy. My hubs isn't in good shape, and did 9/10 obstacles (couldn't get enough vertical to get over the high wall). He did carry me his portion of the hero carry (and I carried him on mine!), and we walked the majority of the course, but if you've thought about one... do it!
