June 29, 2013 - Brooklyn, MI. My first Tough Mudder was, for me at least, just what I expected. It was tough, and it was muddy. It was a 12 mile course with 20 obstacles interspersed throughout. It is, to date, the hardest event I've tried, and I loved it. I'll definitely do another one next year.
I was definitely not prepared for this run. It's not that I didn't train right. I just didn't train enough. And I came in too heavy. I gained about 15 pounds over the winter and I didn't shed the weight before the Tough Mudder. That hurt me too.
I ran with a small team of 3 (myself included). Our group, Team RWB, had a total of about 50 who ran in smaller groups such as ours. My team was great. They could've completed this course faster but they hung back so I could keep up. That sucked.
Tough Mudder is something to be tackled with friends. It's a great bonding experience. I'm looking forward to running it again next year.
