We'll see him at Kona next year.

Do you know the typical qualifying cut off for our age group?

 

Do you know the typical qualifying cut off for our age group?

It is based upon each event and taking a percentage of each age group. My age group had 131 finishers, or 8%. That means they take the top 8% of my group, which was a little over 3 hours faster than me for the slowest. You have to be a beast to qualify.

I'm over 70 lbs down now and up to 10 miles a day on my bike. Still not walking and not eating meat. The attacks have ceased, so maybe I'm getting this gout thing under control.

 

Shared one of those Tofurkey loaves with some vegan friends, at my daughter's Thanksgiving dinner. For the earlier meal, at home, I ate the Tofurkey oven roast deli slices, heated in the microwave. Both were OK, better than nothing. Oddly enough, I carved the bird at both meals I attended that day. Some of the Tofurkey stuff is just awful, especially the Italian Sausage.

 

Mrs. S, who is still on that Ideal Protein Diet, has lost 37 lbs. My daugter and I are going to try and get her started in water aerobics after the first of the year.

Has anyone ever tried that Tough Mudder competition? I've seen thier ads on facebook all the time. I also noticed that they have one coming to Kentucky on October 21 and 22 of 2012. It is in Maysville.

It has sparked my interest because I have always wanted to try something like this.

Talking about this yesterday. I have a few friends that have participated and they have a good time. There are lots of different circuits but the Tough Mudder series is the most popular. Get a group and give it a shot.

A friend has asked me to do the one in KY. Pretty sure I will.

Did they say how difficult it was. Just curious because I'm looking at some of the youtube videos and I'm just thinking that I wouldn't have that much of a problem with it. Seemed to me like there was a lot of standing around.

He said that it did not require a lot of upper or lower body strength, just a little stamina which I am sure you have. These are more geared towards having fun, teaming up with others to get through obstacles, and enjoying the day.

I am doing the Michigan/northern Ohio in april. I downloaded a workout for 12 weeks out from the race if anyone wants it. It comes from Outdoor Magazine and a trainer who trains people specifically for this. I am starting from about a 25 min 5 k so we will see if i can stick with it to get to that level

Wish events like this had been more accessible/common 6-7 years ago when I would have actually still been in great shape for them.

You still have plenty of time. These races seem to be about the challenge of the journey, not winning

JK It just would have been nice to have something around to have kept me in shape rather than to have to get back in shape for.

The Tough Mudders aren't even races. They are untimed and the goal is just to finish. A guy a work out with did the one in Indy a couple of weeks ago and said it was pretty tough. It was freezing and there was a lot of freezing water to swim though. He said that was really what made it tough and if it had been warmer outside it wouldn't have been as bad.
