Congrats to all of you that completed Tough Mudder in Patterson this weekend. I got a little caught up in the energy and decided to get a Mohawk after the event (see photo on right). I thought it would be best to shave my whole head yesterday. There is something a little odd about a guy with a Mohawk, driving kids in a mini-van in Silicon Valley, right?
Coach Mike and I have now completed 6 -Tough Mudders (10-13 miles) and 2- World’s Toughest Mudders (24 hours). Patterson was surprisingly beautiful and the events are never boring. We spent an hour after the event watching Mudders getting shocked. If you want a great laugh, check out an event in Sydney–> Electric Shock Therapy Video. If the electric shock scares you and it should, you do not have to do it or any other obstacle that you do not want to do.
Almost anyone can do an obstacle course event. There was a U.S. Veteran who carried a giant American flag the distance of the event. Another was in a wheelchair that was carried through the course. One of the Mudders was scared to jump into the water from 12 feet up (walk the plank) and started walking away from the obstacle. Coach Mike got his attention and after a short motivational talk he jumped into the muddy water and overcame his fear.
I am very excited to see so many of you registering for the Spartan Sprint at AT&T Park (only 3 miles). This will be a great introduction to Obstacle Course Racing. The next local Tough Mudder is in Tahoe at Northstar. For all team events go to–> Fitness Events.
