Looks like it could be a lot of fun, plus its for a great cause. I'm debating whether or not to try it. Thoughts? Opinions?

[Foosh]

looks like fun but in the snow it won't be much fun...

[Savage_Messiah]

that looks like the pinnacle of badassness

Free post-race beer by DogFish Head. Never had the beer, but alittle alcohol after that might be just the pain-relieving thing you need.

That looks like a lot of fun - forget the completion time, just run the course at your own pace and get through it.

I think Tim had talked about competing in that last year - looks like it would certainly be a good time, and helping a good cause is always a good thing (as is free DogFish!).

Do it!

I wish I was in the proper cardio shape for a 7 mile run, cause I would do that race.

[ar0ck]

**** If I was around in time I would definitely give it a try!

[HardcoreZ28]

Ian....let me know if you're serious.....I'll do it with you.

[thunder]

[WildBillyT]

Would be cool if I had enough stamina. I think this is more my speed:

You have 2 months to get your endurance up hahah. I've been training since the fall to get my cardio back up. Right now I do 5 miles 3 times a week at about an 8 minute/mile pace.

[Ian]

I've decided I'm going to do this. If anyone else wants to do it with me, I'll make a team.

[LTb1ow]

I will start to try and get myself into decent cardio shape, if I think I can do it, I will let you know.

matt... i might do it and im in terrible shape... a few of my freinds are doing it and want me to join... but its not a "timed" thing you just do your best... all you have to do is finish it... so if you get tired and have to slow down for a minute or 2 it wont matter...

I don't recall the last time I ran, biked or did anything remotely close to cardio work. :rofl:

We shall see.

I would be someones conditioning coach :) just have to find a way in

Edit: lots of uphill running, 1100 ft elevation, cold, and full body cardio = def not easy to train for

son of a bitch!

ETA: I signed up for the waiting list. lets hope some people drop out. I knew I should have just registered myself last night :banghead:

[HeadlessNorseman]

Is this an annual thing? I would love to try it out if anyone on here is planning on it

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I would love to do this next year

[HardcoreZ28]

Dude that sucks......maybe next year. I have a rugby game the day before anyway so I would have been running on only half a tank.

[Rich189]

I'm doing this one in July if anyone wants to do it hit me up on pms by 3/20 as im trying to register a group.

PMed... id be down for that too. still got a few months to get ready!

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

FYI there is no local tough mudder competition in 2011 so if you didn't make it into this one, you're screwed

[Tru2Chevy]

Another FYI - Dogfish will be giving away a few entry spots on FaceBook this week....saw a tweet about it from them earlier today.
