    Default Toughmudder- Round 2

    Originally I was going to do the Missouri Tough mudder- but they moved the date and I can't do that one. Stevebuff is still doing missouri- and I encourage anyone interested to join him on October 13th (I think thats the new date)

    But a few of us are now doing the one in Wisconsin on Saturday, September 8th. The last day for the cheapest registration is Wednesday, February 29th. You may still register, but the price goes up and the saturday time slots are filling up VERY quickly- in fact the time slots on either side of our start time is already full- so hurry.

    If you've been thinking you kinda wished you would have jumped on board before- here's your 2nd chance. Currently me, my bro his friend (female) are signed up, and squirrel e-mailed me today for info, and K-rud can't make up his mind. We'll be going up Friday after work- we start on Saturday at 10:20, duration of event around 3 hours.

    Basic info- http://toughmudder.com/events/wisconsin-2012/



    Wanna sign up now and worry about getting in shape later? Start Here- https://register.toughmudder.com/reg...rue&event=8605

    Click- "Join an existing team" in the right column.

    Hit the dropdown and scroll to “Pour Intentions”

    After you click to sign up for “Pour Intentions” you may need a password- Its “drinkup”.

    Follow normal instructions from there. Once the 10:20 time slot is full- they won't let anymore in.

    Hey Vonda- (adventure girl!) if you sign up, maybe Poof will join us...

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    Aren't you going to be at Gnome Fest that weekend?
    You'd understand if you know what I was talking about.

    You bet- the more the merrier.

    As for Gnome fest- This year is turning into being like last year. I've got too many things I want to do and something is going to have to give. The date change on the Tough Mudder threw best laid plans into disarray- I'll either cut the week short or have to drive from 9 mile forest to Cascade Wi and back that day!

    Squirrel is registered, too- I suggest anyone considering it make the leap today- tomorrow the price goes up and every time someone registeres, the time slot could be full!

    Well...I'm in. I gotta say this makes me nervous. It's really close to the Moab trip. I better not die.
    I may have to grow old, but I'll never have to grow up.

    Hey fellow Mudders, even tho we had to split up the team doesn't mean we can't train together! I was thinking running at our awesome mtn bike trails taking short breaks for pushups and pullups would be perfect practice of course we have to wait for it to get a little drier. I'm a second shifter now so if anyone else has that schedule we could meet up during the week, late mornings, otherwise I'll just only be able to join in on the weekends. Post up Mudders!

    Steve, I'd love to do some trail running, but I'm a first shifter so weekends would be the only time our schedules would allow for it.

    Me and Russ were thinking the same thing- find a park with monkey bars and run for a bit- side walking pushups, dive bombers, bear crawls, hand over hand climb, repeat!!

    Sounds good to me!

    Dinked up my knee riding my fatbike in the BMX bowl at Rays- but I'll be good to go in a few days. Maybe next time!
