Looking for real tough mudders in Melbourne.
« on: January 09, 2012, 10:44:52 pm »

Hi guys, I'm thinking of signing up for the Tough Mudder competition on March 31st or April 1st this year, and I was just wondering if anyone else is keen. This needs to be run as a team (well, you can run solo, but it's practically suicide) and ends with free beer.

If we can get enough interest together, I'd like to register a DF team.

If you're curious as to what it involves, here's a breakdown of the course (click the view full map button, mouseover each challenge to see details). Pay special attention to the last few challenges :P

Finally, here's a training program, to whip you into shape as a tough bastard.


So, any takers?

To be fair, there are Tough Mudder events around the world. Now you guys don't have any excuse :P

More seriously, I only moved to Melbourne 6 months ago and I don't have any insane fitness freak friends here yet. If I can't get a team together this year though, I'm flying back to my hometown Perth for the 2013 one there.

You can skip the water sections. Also, it involves ice, fire and lightning. I'm not joking, it's like the black magic trifecta!

Knowing that, I would be freaking in. I've wanted to do something like this for a while, although my parkour skills will be pretty rusty, given that I've put on over 100lbs since then.

Edit: Just for clarification, I'd have to go with the MI/OH run.

That looks fun, but I'd probably die.  What a great idea for a competition though!

And this ain't Melbourne, this is Phillip Island, nearly 180km away. I'm sadly not in good enough shape to do 15km running, though if it were cycling I'd be perfectly happy to join.

And wow, so many B12ers are Melbournians! That makes 4 including me!
