Author Message   Kilroy Posted on Thursday, December 08, 2011 - 01:14 pm:        Did the Tampa Tough Mudder last weekend. Just got the notice that I finished with a top 5% time and qualified for the "World's Toughest Mudder" up in Jersey in a couple weeks. Not bad for a 47 year old on my first one - Anybody here ever done one of these? Kilroy   Britchri10 Posted on Thursday, December 08, 2011 - 01:26 pm:        I did a one in Jax a couple or three years ago. Good fun, crap time but I did finish! (& I wasn't last by a long way) I've crossed it off my bucket list & have no intention of repeating the experience. Chris C   Blackm2 Posted on Thursday, December 08, 2011 - 01:47 pm:        Haven't done a Tough Mudder yet. Looking at doing a Spartan race, very similar. http://www.spartanrace.com/ Have done Bootcamp Challenge and Mountain Warfare Training Challenges in Cali. great fun as opposed to a straight, monotonous run.   Daggar Posted on Thursday, December 08, 2011 - 02:28 pm:        Congratulations on your finish. Some buddies and myself did the one at Squaw last September. Two of them qualified for the World's Toughest Mudder. I think they finished in like 3 hours. Took me about 5. lol. Lots of fun though.   Kilroy Posted on Thursday, December 08, 2011 - 02:34 pm:        Thanks - I walked around with a ruptured appendix for 4 or 5 days in the middle of Sept, and that really put a hole in my training. I couldn't do anything for about 4 weeks, and only got up to about 2.5 miles again before the event. I was as surprised that I even felt good enough to do the event at all.   Daggar Posted on Thursday, December 08, 2011 - 02:37 pm:        Damn dude. That's pretty badass. What kind of training did you do for it? I just added some running to my regular Crossfit WODs.   Kilroy Posted on Thursday, December 08, 2011 - 02:41 pm:        I just ran 3 days a week, in addition to lifting, which I have done for about 30 years. I was surprised most, that after about 6 miles, I just started passing people in droves. Everyone else was just walking. My knees and shins were killing me, but I decided that I just wasn't going to stop running. I must have passed 700 or 800 people by the time it was over. Also surprised at how many people were bypassing the obstacles.   Blake Posted on Friday, December 09, 2011 - 05:49 pm:        >>> I decided that I just wasn't going to stop running. How winners win. Brilliant! Congrats on such a great performance given your recent appendix ordeal. Wow.   Kilroy Posted on Saturday, December 10, 2011 - 02:31 pm:        Thanks Blake. Now i'm actually looking forward to doing another one, trying to avoid the cold climate events, prolly wait for next near's Fla events. I think I will pass on the "World's Toughest Mudder, seeing that it is a 24 hours long event. Even I have my limits Kilroy
