Anyone doing it?

Heard about it recently. 13.1 mile mud run? Crazy.

ouch...

wasn't in shape... didn't train... didn't know what to expect...

it was closer to 14 miles than 13... somewhere over 30 obstacles

200 ft into the race... running through a water trench and climbing up a mud hill... drenched and caked in mud on exit

i'm thinking to myself... 13+ more miles of this crap?

about 6 miles into it... army crawling underneath about 150 ft of barbed wire...muddy... and some volunteer pelting my backside down with icy cold pond water from a firehose... i'm curled up fetal style wandering 'what the hell was i thinking??'

i saw 3 people that left the race due to medical issues

the race itself was pretty cool... very well marketed... trail & obstacles were well thought out...rough creek lodge is incredible...

but a 43 year old with 4 kids... maybe not the race for me... IF i did it again, i'd do the recommended training that they send out over email

haven't been this sore in a long time...

my only consolation on saturday was watching johnny win the heisman

Did the Beast race on Saturday morning (9:00 am heat). It was awesome. I have been doing crossfit 4-5 times a week for the past year, other than that I have been doing nothing else. I am very sore today as well.
