Tough Mudder Englishtown Nov 12 2011

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

The teamwork and camaraderie I saw at this event and as you'll see in the photos was unlike anything I'd seen before.

More info about the event can be found here ( http://toughmudder.com/events/tri-state-2011/tri-state-2011-course-map/) , but it is modeled after British Special Forces training by actual members of the special forces, with 19 obstacles in 12 miles. Of course they added a few others in between some stretches of running so that we wouldn't be let down. About 25% didn't finish the event at all, and about 50% skipped at least one obstacle - The water obstacles were among the most popular to be skipped since the water was 37 degrees. It was by far the most fun I've ever had. You can come as a spectator as well.

This is how all the start groups began the competition, after the Tough Mudder pledge and the national anthem. This happened every 20 minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=426fkvs0_bc

Suites

We are not running in "suites" - we are not buildings. Suits are a possibility but not very original

I'll be back into shape for this one :lol: That was my third time running in the period from November to April

[Fast92RS]

How much time do you have to be there before your start time to check in?

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

There's 2x as many people at this event as in the past. Depends how much you want to look at the course. I would say 1 hr 15 - 1.5 hrs ahead this time if you don't really want to look at the course. Check in takes a while and you want to make sure to really limber up and stretch beforehand. You participating?

[ar0ck]

Should go as Bananas

[Fast92RS]

Yes I have a team of 6 for the 1015 start time on sunday

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Should go as Bananas

Yes I have a team of 6 for the 1015 start time on sunday

Ah, nice. I'll let you know if my suggestions change with relation to time.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

FYI Spectator ticket prices are 2x the price or $40 at the door this weekend. Come watch 20,000 idiots go through 12 miles of mud, live electrical wires, and 37 degree water!

[Fast92RS]

what a great day.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

what a great day.

Glad you had a good time...you and your friends should join our team for PA next April! I'll have a bunch of pictures posted by next week. Had a photographer again as usual. The mud tunnels were pretty sweet. Looked like they opened up the ropes again for you guys on Sunday. Where you picked your own path, did you go right to Cliffhanger, or left to A-frame?

[Fast92RS]

went to the cliffhanger. I am doing it again next year at raceway park.
