I just signed up for 5/5/12 at Mt Snow in Vermont.....already 90% sold out. Anybody else doing one? They're all over the country. Pussys need not apply.

Saturday April 14th 2012 it is in my back yard pretty much. Already entered and siked. This is my first one. A friend of mine has done the Urban Atholon in Chicago the past 4 years. I will be training with him in the beginning of the year for this.

Awesome! :flaming:

I read about this in the newest Hustler I got in the mail....one of their writers did it and I knew I had to do this.
There's a few in Canada also.....you in, BKT?

I did one of the competitor ones, the Spartan Sprint, back in September.

I can honestly say I fucking hated it. I thought it was going to be a 4 mile course with lots of obstacles and cool shit to figure out how to navigate but I basically paid $80 to run up and down a goddamned mountain with a cargo net, monkey bars and a few other modified playground obstacles.

I am doing the one in Vermont as well. I am on a team from Boston and we have a huge house that we rented for the weekend!! Can't wait for it!!

I could totally see BKT doing this. This thing sounds amazing. Will look it up for sure.

Clevo, keep us posted dude!

My co-worker said he did one recently. I think he said it was 10 miles. I could have heard him wrong and it was really a 10k. He said it was fun, but he was cold for most of the race because he had to wade through cold water right at the beginning. He had barely warmed up or broken a sweat yet. If I was in better shape maybe I'd consider signing up, but I've been lazy lately.

If they had reality TV shows based on shit like this instead of all these fucking talent shows and Survivor bullshit maybe the populace would be in better shape.

SS76 - 5-6-2012 at 12:13 PM

Yeah, it was tough but not that tough. Myself and 3 friends finished it yesterday. How'd you do Clevo, Chad?

no doubt. I watch ninja warrior and wish I could do half the shit they can.

clevohardcore - 5-6-2012 at 10:04 PM

I did not do it. Had a too much on my plate this past semester. I fucked up because so many people did it that were not in shape at all. I could have done it with no prior training.

SuchADangerous - 5-7-2012 at 05:31 PM

I'm doing the one in MD? or PA? I forget which in September.

Haven't run that far in about 5 years. Should be interesting.

ChadBeantown - 5-8-2012 at 12:45 AM

I did it this past weekend. It was pretty tough but not as bad as I thought it would be. I am looking forward to the Tough Mudder Boston one next year!!!

sentrand - 5-8-2012 at 12:56 AM

i do believe that would kill me!

Good job! I looked for you on saturday; didn't see you. We finished late, but my whole team started together and finished together. I think I'll be hitting the Boston one next year too.

BDx13 - 5-8-2012 at 10:47 AM

so what all was involved with the one you guys did?

This about sums it up.

ChadBeantown - 5-8-2012 at 11:05 AM

What time did you finish? My team split into 2 groups. 4 people went ahead, and 6 people stayed together. I was with the 6 slower people!! We finished around 2:30. But we hung out and drank for a few hours after that!! The only obsticle I didn't make it all the way through was the monkey bars. Half way across I new I wouldn't make it so I fell into the water. I did see a guy try to jump across a part of the mud and snap his leg in half. That was pretty crazy!!

SS76 - 5-8-2012 at 11:18 AM

Snapped a leg?! Holy fuck! My start time was 12:40; had 3 friends with me and 1 had a cramped up leg and fucked his ankle up good early on. We waited for him alot, but we all finished together. Late. I also slipped off those monkey bars; didn't even make it half way. I didn't get shocked at the end somehow but I did get a good one at the electric eel. Laying in water and getting zapped by a live wire is no joke! I didn't hang out that long....I drove 3 hours from CT, did my 10 miles and then drove 3 hours back home. Awesome.
