A bunch of my friends do this ridiculous shtein every year and some even go do a few of them (in different cities). They've been trying to get me to do one, but I'm claustrophobic, so there is no way I could do a couple of the obstacles. But seriously, what mother farging crazy kind of loon must you be to do this shtein?

Any of you non-lush peeps ever do one?
A guy I used to work with does these a lot and had talked me into trying it - but then he quit and moved away so we never went through with it.
I was convinced I'd be hacking my innards up halfway through.
A bunch of my friends have done multiple ones, and they always say they have a good time with it.....I just don't love the long distance endurance to do that. I was never good with distance even when I was in shape
you don't need to be good in distance, because you're stopping running through most of the obstacles. Being a distance runner really is not a factor in them.
I think I could hack Warrior Dash though.
My problem would be the rope climb. I cannot do that shtein for anything.
I used to be able to, but no idea if I could now. They have a whole training course to help you build strength where you need it prior to the race. But again, that sewage pipe thing into the water/mud...I'd lose my sanity in there and freak out. That one obstacle alone makes it unbearable.
Yeah I could see getting claustrophobic in there for sure.
I think I'd make it ok until #12 and that's when I'd start losing my guts.
LOL, to me, that feels like it woudl be heaven compared to the rest of that shtein. Being electrocuted sounds like a great way to end my day
I have just two words to add to this discourse: Screw that.
I wouldn't have done that at 20. Now at past 40 with back surgery, arthritic knees and a paunch? I have no wishes for an early death?
Those that try this are freakin' crazy. Those that finish are impressively freakin' crazy.
Mrs. Freddie and I are doing a Warrior Dash in May. Tough Mudder hopefully never.
I would love to do WD. It looks like so much fun, since it doesn't include the whole dying or ending up in a straitjacket thing....
i did this last year. i don't think i'll ever do it again. it was fun, but it's too much of a risk for injury.
the obstacles are not as hard as they look... and wading through bacteria is just farging stupid. i did the down and dirty mud run last july and then was sick for 4 days with a stomach bug.
i would avoid mud runs at all costs.
My Dad asked me to do it with him and I said no...he's 32 years my senior.
what the hell
what jew would do this
my old man is about as non-heeb as you can get
well clearly the non kosher meat doesnt fall far from the tree, now does it?
I thought this thread was going to be about the Living Social Big Mac deal.
BOOOOOOOO!
I had like 3 or 4 friends do it in the city a couple weeks ago. My brother did the urbanathalon or whatever in the city a couple weeks before that. The urbanathalon was like 10 miles with a couple obstacles... the person who finished in first finished in barely over an hour.
The responses in this thread make you all sound like a bunch of old, sloppy, whiney, bitches. I think your weepy jackassery might have just inspired me to train for one of these things. farg you all very much.
Training is for Hoydas

Your wife will not be pleased. No, really. Trust the Romester on that one.
I thought maybe this thread would be about mud bogging jeeps and land cruisers.
I am dissapoint.
I thought this thread would be about horse racing. You wouldn't believe how disappointed I am.
I thought it was chicks who don't want the butt secks.
weirdos
I did something similar to this when I was in the Army, there was a lot less mudd but it still sucked.
My team won but I wouldn't want to do it again. I think I slept for like 16 hrs after it and couldn't walk for 3 days.
