Tough Mudder Interest? (UK)

[Harkuno]

I've agreed to do a Tough Mudder next year, after I attended one that my sister took part in. As the event itself raises money for a good cause - Help for Heroes -, I thought perhaps some UK TESTies might want to join in???

The event takes place in May, so it shouldn't be too cold (i hope), and I still don't know if I'm doing it on a Saturday or a Sunday (I'm waiting on friends to decide which day suits them). All I know is that I'm doing it, and the event is based around being part of a team. Also, there will be a LOT of mud.

P.S: I was thinking of wearing something like this, as loads of people were wearing costumes before :)

P.P.S: did I mention that when you finish you get a free beer? :D

I already do cross-country during the winter, I'd rather not throw more mud in the mix just as we enter the summer (track season) ;)

Good luck, though! I hear Tough Mudder races are, believe it or not, tough. Have fun!

Good luck! I'll be doing one someday once I train for it.

I'm UK based and thought about doing it a couple of times, if we can get a few of us together I'm game.

If people were thinking of camping and making a bit of a TEST Weekend of it, I could probably be convinced. Do not under any circumstances expect me to be quick though...

As I understand, simply completing one is a pretty nice accomplishment.

I agree, my sister was really happy when she finished hers back in September! :)

Becoming a Mudder is great. However the pain the following week I just can't justify doing it anymore. Make sure you post a pic with your headband!

Right! Tough Mudder ticket is now aquired, I am now an official participant for the 2016 UK Midlands Tough Mudder, on Sunday 22nd May!

I originally (read- Accidentally) signed up to London South, (I want to do that also, but I'll sort that one out later :P) and had a £5 donation to Help for Heroes, but I've got a new fundraising page following my transfer onto the correct event!

Oh boy, do I need to get training... :)
