    Bumping this, I'm enjoying reading everyone's experiences. Looks like my team is up to about 10 now. This is going to be nothing less than epic. And if any of you will be in the bay area for 2013 please feel free to add. Best of luck everyone!

    It was my fitness goal but then I saw the electrical wires and ice. No thank you.

    Hopefully the adrenaline will kick in before you get there and it won't be terrible. Guess I'll let you know lol

    Yeah, you should keep believing that if it gets you into the obstacle. So cute! ; )

    Haha, this= my response when my teammates say how much this part will suck. But if somebody's gonna be holding a beer at the end you can bet your *kitten* I'll be sprinting through some live wires

    I have completed Toughmudder Tampa in December, signed up again this year. Also, have completed 2 savage races ( I find savage harder, faster pace).


    I completed a round of p90x and was running 6 miles at a time about 3 times a week. Waiting on obstacles gives you time to catch your breath. Contrary to your thoughts, no one died in the ice or electric shock. The ice actually helps reduce the tightness in your legs. I found the hardest obstacle to complete the half-pike.

    My recommendation sign-up now and quit making excuses. The most important training. Mentally knowing you will finish. No prizes to the fastest time, But you must finish. You need help with an obstacle, just ask. Then you turn and offer your assistance. Greatest group of people around at these races.

    You can add me if you like. Currently working on my first round of insanity. Yesterday was my rest day so I Ran 2.45 miles and rollerbladed back.

    I am doing this in October and I am so freaking excited! My boyfriend and I are both doing it and have been training (running and strength training) and I've been hitting it pretty hard lately. There's nothing like electro-shock therapy to motivate your *kitten* to run!

    Wait, so are we doing SoCal or NorCal?

    Also, maybe start a group for 2013 SoCal Tough Mudders. We'd join and not have to dig up this post. I'd do it but have no idea how. That's my story, anyway

    Haha, it was going to be SoCal, but we changed it so my brother in law doesn't have to drive so far. I like bay area more anyway!

    This. An MFP friend was saying how he was so excited to do it and I thought I'd look it up. Mmm yeah, no thanks. LOL

    A friend and I are doing it for our 40/30th birthdays. We did a 5K in the spring and it was a lot of fun. We might try to do it before then, since that's not until 2015, but we've got a ways to go. She has a bit more to lose, and I have to overcome a ferocious fear of heights.
