So over Father's Day, Rachel and I did our first Tough Mudder! This is a 10.1 mile obstacle course. So there were about 20 obstacles along the way, with about half mile to a mile runs in between. It was lots of fun, and was certainly worth doing. The very first obstacle was to crawl through a shallow mud pit under barbed wire. So the theme came out fairly early. Throughout the race I'd say we had to jump in and crawl through at least 4 different mud pits. Needless to say, the even lives up to its name. Here are some pictures.

Arctic Enema, basically a dive into a water bath. |

Arctic Enema, by definition 0 degrees Celsius. |

This one was the infamous electrocution at the end of the tough mudder. |

That is a grimace.. not a smile. For the record. |

Rachel made sure to be careful with her recently broken arm. Or something. |

At the end, our whole group made it. |
Tough Mudder was great, and everyone shoudl do it! If you guys ever want to put together a family oriented group let me know!
