October 21, 201213 yr Author One of my daughters roommates competed )and completed) with a team today. She texted us later (we were in Pikeville and not in Maysville); said she was feeling a little rough. The cold was much worse than the obstacles or the running. Fortunately for her and her team, papa supplied them with Amish donuts last night and there were still some left for them after the event. Couldnt share w the class, huh?
October 21, 201213 yr I got dropped by the electric. Knocked me on my face. Have you ever touched or ran into an electric fence? If so, how would you gauge it compared to that.

October 21, 201213 yr No. Don't plan on being able to compare the two any time soon Haha. I can understand. On a different note, do they post the results online? I can't seem to find them. Wanted to see how some of my training partners df.

October 21, 201213 yr No times are officially kept. It is not a race just an experience... they say. Well that's no fun. If no times are kept, how do they determine the top X% who move on to their championship thing?
October 21, 201213 yr Author Well that's no fun. If no times are kept, how do they determine the top X% who move on to their championship thing? Good question. In a month they have the Toughest Mudder. I have no idea how they qualify.
October 21, 201213 yr Good question. In a month they have the Toughest Mudder. I have no idea how they qualify. It's self reported times. You have to be mildly insane (like i was) to do yesterdays, but completely insane to do worlds toughest. it's not a time, but how many times you can do it for 24 hours... im so sore, and exhausted still. what a crazy hard challenge. people on the course were saying it was by far the hardest one because of the hills.

Its like you said. You have to finish in the top 5% of the self reported times.
October 21, 201213 yr I know Maysville is packed to the gills with people this weekend. There were people in my start time that were from Italy.
October 21, 201213 yr Why were all of the buses from Hamilton, Ohio and why were they always empty going and coming? I bet I saw 20+ busses at any given time with absolutely no one on them. Who makes all of the money off of this event(Under Armour,etc.?). I mean at upwards of $200 to enter, $40 to spectate, $70 for a tattoo, some one making money hand over fist, wish I had come up with the idea. :thumb:
October 21, 201213 yr I had a buddy that did it and was surprised to hear that be bad a blast considering how out of shape he was a few months ago.

Spent another $10 there on a few more beers and then went to Penn Station and dominated a large Chicken Parmesan. So, on the entire day I spent somewhere near the $125 range. Not terrible considering how much work goes into setting up one of these events.
