Down at Virginia Beach there was an event scheduled for this past weekend called Tough Mudder. You’ve probably seen these events in advertisements or on local TV news stories. Tough Mudder is a 10-12 mile race through mud, fire, ice-water, 10,000 volts of electricity, over 12 foot walls, through mud tunnels, and numerous other obstacles. According to their website, the Tough Mudder obstacle courses are …
”… designed by British Special Forces to test your all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie.”
Designed by British Special Forces! Quoting the Tough Mudder website again, the obstacle courses are designed to …
“… test you in every way and are meant only for truly exceptional all-around people, not for people who have enough time and money to train their knees to run 26 miles.”
You get that? No lazy, slacker, marathon runners need apply! Tough Mudder obstacle courses are only intended for real he-men – and, presumably, real she-women.
Unfortunately, the organizers of Tough Mudder 2013 at Virginia Beach had to cancel the event. It rained and, as a result, the obstacle courses were too, uh … they were too (this has to be a wee bit embarrassing for someone) … they were too muddy. There, I said it. Tough Mudder was canceled due to mud!
Better luck next year, guys.
