Ollydykins Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Wondering if anybody else is doing this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Nope but a little more info in your thread wouldn't have gone astray. Google gave me this though: https://toughmudder.co.uk/events/2016-north-west Good luck with it Olly ~ wear a GoPro if you have one as I'm sure it would make for some good footage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's one of those posts, if your doing it, you'll definitely know about it 😂 and if you don't, then your one of the lucky few. And no go pro sadly, don't want to be worrying about it, although I do have a chest mount I could have used ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeezeebaba Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I've done one of these events before, totally knackered me out and I couldn't walk properly for a week afterwards. Well worth it though as I felt like I did as a kid when doing it, wet and covered in crud, awesome fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollydykins Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Haha thanks guys, hopefully it should be good fun and I'll be glad of it afterwards Olly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I did it up at Cholmondely years ago. It's good fun. They've dumbed it down for the masses in recent years though sadly. My missus did it last year with zero training and there were folk just taking a 12 mike stroll and circumventing the obstacles. Seems to have degenerated into a money making scheme these days. Arctic Enema is still horrendous though! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P15UL T Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Love tough mudder. Done it 3 times, not in a few years due to being so busy. Did 2011,2012&2013 in Scotland. WhoooRaaaaa Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kay Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I did it but I agree with a previous comment, its a big business these days charging far too much money. There are better events these days for less money, and frankly it wasn't as tough as I had imagined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. Good luck! I'm doing my first half marathon on the 25th of this month good luck to all doing something stupid this month Half marathon at your age??? Only joking, how's the training going? I did 18 miles today, pretty tough though in this heat...spent the rest of the day trying to rehydrate! Not convinced I have another 8.2 miles in me I did it but I agree with a previous comment, its a big business these days charging far too much money. There are better events these days for less money, and frankly it wasn't as tough as I had imagined. A couple of my GFs asked me to sponsor them for PRETTY MUDDER in Edinburgh. It appears to be a 5k jolly with a slight chance of getting your trainers a little dirty! Still if it gets people doing SOME EXERCISE and raising a bit for charity then I guess it's for the greater good! How did the OP get on anyway??? Did he make it out alive..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollydykins Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Haha, only JUST!! It was fun looking back, but won't be doing it again, I hate running, and I got left on my own because my friends were pretty much athletes (boo ) But as you can see my face (far right) I was knackered, never faced a harder challenge !! But under different circumstances, I would have enjoyed it a lot more ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Left on your own! Isn't that specifically against the spirit of tough mudder! It's not even a time event. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Yeah, sort of dampened my spirits, but I hate holding people back, so I just told them to go on, made friends along the way so 💠but definitely preparation before doing it again Olly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
