eeneR 1 #3 July 14, 2011 No, but I did run Warrior Dash a few weeks ago. That was awesome! She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrmrangers 0 #4 July 14, 2011 From what I've heard warrior dash and the tough murder are more difficult. Npgraphic lives close to me so I'll try to pick his brain a bit and see if he wants to run as team mates!Wait , I pull what first? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eeneR 1 #5 July 14, 2011 Tough mudder is 2x as long if not more then Warrior Dash. I was looking at the course for the one being run up in WI. I will say it kicked my butt, but Warrior Dash was a blast! Had I been running more consistantly it would have been much easier. Though the mud changed up a lot of things and made it more interesting She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

npgraphicdesign 2 #18 July 14, 2011 Ok enough talk about animalistic back-breaking sweaty raunchy sex!!!! Oh wait...I did the tough mudder in May of this year, and all I can say is damn!! I was somewhat out of shape, but one of my teammates and I finished it in 4:21. Running uphill and downhill was the WORST part. The obstacles themselves weren't bad at all. The 35 degree water was the worst... I'll start a separate thread in a little while for those of us who are interested in doing it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're not talking about Spartathlon how far is the race you're talking about and how long do you to prepare? You could probably do the Spartan race w your eyes closed. It's between 8 to 10 miles, lot of uphill/downhill running and obstacles Want to do it?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #25 July 15, 2011 Quote Not familiar with it. I am familiar with this one though. http://toughmudder.com/ I believe npgraphicdesign was going to compete in the May 2011 Tough Mudder. That was on TV last night. Some guy hosting the show ran the Tough Mudder in New Jersey. 12 miles with plenty of obstacles - walls to climb over, 40 degree water to jump into/wade through, greased monkey bars to cross, etc... with a surprise shocking (literally!) obstacle at the end. You had to run through electrified strands. I laughed my ass off at that guy after he ran through it "OW OW OW OW!"
