I just signed up for Tough Mudder 2012. Anyone else ever participated? I am terrified. I have 6.5 months to prepare!
Would love to hear stories...

    I'm thinking about trying that next year myself. I'd say do a shorter version like the warrior dash to get a feel for that type of a run. I did that last year and I LOVED IT.

    Honestly I have been doing crossfit -- but on the Tough Mudder site there is a few FAQs on training.

    It's mind over matter :0 have faith!

    Bump
    You guys should all check out my Mud Run! I and a group of veterans host the toughest Mud Run in N America 2x a year! Go to usmcmudrun.org and check it out! We were the first, we are locally run (not a corporation) and we give all proceeds back to the event and veterans causes as well as the fight against childhood obesity! Plus we are and will remain the toughest! Check out the website and let me know what you think! I can definitely give you training tips, and yes you can all complete it. Last year I had a group of 16 women all in their 30's and all quite heavy do the event as a part of their weightless/lifestyle change program. They all finished!
    Check it out and let me know what you think, we've been going strong since 93 and always look for ways to improve! It is a family event with a kids course as well.

    Where is the one in PA? I live just south of Harrisburg. I really want to do this as well. I signed up for the Warrior Dash in June being held up in the Pocono's.

    Will,
    that looks awesome! I probably should have started out with a smaller obstacle, but I got excited. Anyone want to join our team?
    Our team name is "Tough Guys like Dirty Girls"
    NorCal (Tahoe) Sept. 22nd.
    GAH!
