Tough Mudder

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!
