[Anti_Rice_Guy]

We're a bunch of badasses doing Tough Mudder's Allentown, PA event on April 9, 2011. The longer you wait to sign up, the more expensive it gets.

What is Tough Mudder you ask?

http://toughmudder.com/

Tough Mudder is not your average lame-ass mud run or spirit-crushing ‘endurance’ road race. It’s Ironman meets Burning Man, and it is coming to a city near you. Our 7-12 mile obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. Forget finish times. Simply completing a Tough Mudder is a badge of honor. All Tough Mudder sponsorship proceeds go to the Wounded Warrior Project.
WARNING: A Tough Mudder is 3-4 times longer and much tougher than a typical mud run such as Warrior Dash. Only those in reasonable physical condition should enter

Got this from Tough Mudder HQ today

Mudders: There are only 1,300 spots left for our Pennsylvania event, and prices are going up on Friday. We anticipate being sold out in about a week. Team Captains, there will be no exceptions once all the spots are gone they are done, so be sure your all the members of your team sign up asap.

Still openings Nick? I am debating doing it.


FML... signed up anyway, I loath cardio.

[KirkEvil]

Im getting ready to go to the Monmouth vs Princeton basketball game, but I will be signing up tonight when I get home. GO TEAM!

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Obviously still openings, but hurry up ladies!

We have a decent team going now so it should be a good time. As it gets closer we'll name a place to have breakfast and meet and great before the event since we have ot be there early anyway.

[LTb1ow]

How many people is there so far Nick?

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

7 on the roster as of this exact moment. Plus Kirk.

That's not including 1 local friend, 1994lt1, and teds89iroc and crew that are supposed to sign up that I reminded today.

A few others said they might but I don't have high hopes for.

We have one girl and a possibility of another if her friend doesn't start her own team.

If the other girl joins, you can get your ass kicked by a 27 year old girl who's engaged

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Since I'm the captain I get emails of when you all sign up and how you answer the questions. I had no idea you were "extreme" haha

Question 6: What type of Tough Mudder are you?
Answer 6: Extreme Sports - Adrenaline




And yeah it's a great time, the more the merrier.

There was no "Engineer" in the list so I decided to be extreme

[LTb1ow]

Yea and there was no, " I life weights and hate cardio" option either. Tell em to fix that.

[CHRIS67]

I'll be watching from the bar. They make awesome irsh car bombs there.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

All you lazy bastards are screwed if you wanted to join us. Saturday is now officially sold out.

LOL. Some friends at work tried to get me to sign up. I told them if there's an option for "run 1/4 mile with a tractor tire on your back" I'd be game. Till then, I figure my knees take enough abuse.

[KirkEvil]

Hey Nick did you change anything in the team info? I just got charged an extra $59.95 on top of the entrance fee I paid, which was paid in full when I signed up early in December...

The extra charge went through from the Active company, but they have all the same info on the charge as the tough mudder

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I have not changed a single thing. The only thing I could think of would be if you did the option where you pay less but have to raise the set amount of money for the charity.

I would call up Active. I haven't been charged again for anything, neither has any of the rest of the team as far as I know.

[KirkEvil]

I didnt opt for the fundraiser, so idk why I got charged more. I'll give them a call tomorrow

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Hey Nick are you training or anything for this?

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Yes and no. I was hardcore for the first 2 weeks of January, then I got mad sick and have been sitting on my ass bored out of my mind. I'm still sick but hitting the gym again this week because I'm going crazy.

If you give me your email I can send you my workout spreadsheet I made - it includes everything except my running, which I just do a lot of. I will say cardio is probably the biggest aspect of the race - some strength helped at certain events with crawling and stuff but overall endurance is far more important. Smash-like strength is not necessary anywhere on the course


Also there's another one officially being announced for Tri-State at Englishtown again in November coming shortly.

I just ate two cheeseburgers, you mad?
