Tough Guy Challenge
Posted by Hayden on July 14th, 2010The Tough Guy Challenge is a 12km run through mud, farmland, swamps, mud, cow shit, hills, barbed wire and more mud. It was the first time i’d ever done a race like this and it had been a long time since i’d even raced competitively. What a way to get back into it, nothing saps the energy out of your legs faster than getting stuck in mud and have 1kg of mud on each leg. Was an awesome day though and I had a great time doing it, 1h27m all up, happy with that!
Wind, rain and grey skies, perfect weather for it.
The army boys getting stuck in, they had to do pushups every km or so, I didn’t envy them one bit.
Some people coming down the home straight shortly after i’d finished.
Celebrating a job well done, the line for the hot showers was crazy, so I washed myself the mud off where they usually clean the horses (it was at an equistrian centre). Best cold shower ever.
