Tough Mudder Las Vegas, October 6-7 2012

[exdeath]

Looked more like tough desert to me. Mudder? Vegas? In the desert? I've got 10 times more mud in my backyard.

Lol there was *plenty* of mud.

You should see my yard! Really! There's a "swamp" in the middle that you cannot "run" through guaranteed.

The mudders do look like fun though.

I was also there on Saturday and I agree that it was awesome. Though the 8:20 start time sucked, it did mean that we didn't have to wait at all for any of the obstacles.

Monkey bars and rings were what killed me, so I'll ensure that my grip strength is up to par for next spring!

What happened with the 15 jump? The only difficulty I could see is if you're afraid of heights. The high berlin walls also didn't happen for me, I cramped up in places I didn't know I had.

I chickened out on the 15ft jump. My buddy went up first and I was watching him from the other side, and he kinda passed out / lost balnce and fell right in and needed help from the staff to get out, so I got freaked. I was able to get halfway through on the rings and lost my momentum and had to jump in. My gloves were great for everything except the monkey bars, could not grip halfway through. I'm definitely going for another one somewhere different this time.

We had to swim through a couple swamps too. And crawl over a couple mud pits that were too thin to run on and too thick to swim through.

I was worried about the jump too, but I had to just keep saying to myself "Don't think, Just go!" for that obstacle and a few others.
