So once the pain of finishing the Spartan Race had gone and all that was left behind was the sense of achievement, my girlfriend decided it would be a good idea to enter us into the Tough Mudder. Now, i’d seen this on various facebook postings and ‘liked’ it, but never really thought about entering! But hey, life is too short and boring without some kind of challenge to look forward to.
We entered around Christmas time 2011 and from then on was ‘in training’, going out for the odd run, hopping onto the grass/mud for that extra feeling of Tough Mudder training.
Runner versus Tough Mudder
The day started at 5am Sunday morning hearing the dreaded alarm that shouldn’t be allowed at that time of the day. Within an hour we were on the road to Kettering picking up our team members en-route.
