Anyone done one of these? Just signed up for next year's Winchester event. Going to be hard as i've never ran a half marathon let alone 13 miles with obstacles like that. Got roped into it by an account of mine, should be a day to remember.

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit...

I bloody searched for 'Tough Mudder' using the search function and it just brought up a load of daily news articles by that chuffing monkey.
Oh well.

Doing it tomorrow Sippo. Not looking forward to it at all in all honesty. Feel a lot fitter than I was a month ago, but it's gonna be a massive struggle for me. Just got to complete it.
Well done for doing it mate, well earned shirt, head band and pint eh?

I won't lie. It has killed me. Harder than the ciren one. But you will love it! Enjoy the eye candy, and the obstacles! For electric eel, do it fast. Leave a gap and go quick. If you go slow like some did today, you will be worse off!
Bit of advice it took us 3/4 hour to get in the car park, and then a 20 min walk. Leave early!

Leaving Swindon at 7am for a half ten start. Sounds like I'll be knackered before I start!
Killed you but enjoyed it yeah?

Mate, it always is ace. Some people are 'funny' about get wet and muddy but just go for it! Tie those shoe laces tightly!

Well that was a great experience, absolutely loved it. Ache like I've never ached before but that's part of it. Great event, glad to have completed it. Time wasn't great 3.5hrs but one of our lot got cramp at balls to the wall and struggled from there, with around 5.5 miles to go.

Glad you loved it. Wait til tmrw. Aches and bruises will appear! 3.5 miles isn't that bad.
How did you find the 'valleys'?! That's one of, if not the hardest, courses in the UK, so well done.
Favourite obstacle?

For me walk the plank was where TM started today. Muddy mile (?) was great, especially as we went in on the right hand side and were literally above our waists in mud. Arctic enema was everything I thought it'd be, and so painful when you got out.
Loved the running, which surprised me, though my groins are shot. The valleys were something else, never run more than 6 miles in one go before, so to do 12 on that terrain felt good.
Getting up Everest was probably the greatest sense of achievement felt, hugged a few of my team mates at that point as we'd done it then, the shocks were fine, and the beer at the end lovely.
Roll on TM'15.

Ha ha. Someone's caught the bug! Look out for the email to get cheaper tickets.
I've booked up for Henley on Thames (London west) on May 2nd, and want to do an event in Germany.
Next time you get to do the legionnaires cause which has fire in your hole!
