I signed up for the one in April and need to get off my butt and get in better shape!!!!

Was your Mudder a mudder?

The younger guys at work do this and claim it's awesome. I'm too old for that anymore, but would have been first in line for it 10-15 years ago. Looks like a blast.

Your not kidding! I'm not horribly out of shape, but definitely need to work on cardio like a mudder!!

I think it is a thing where you need to be in good physical shape, but how far you take it and how well you do depends on how seriously you take it. You see all shapes and sizes doing it in videos.

I'd die about 1/4 through that. lol. Looks fun, but I'm too out of shape to even think about it. I'm cramping up just watching it.

As long as there is a good looking half naked female needing my constant help in raising her and helping her climb, I am in.

In all seriousness though, I would love to be part of this.

Done it all. Not interested any longer.

I figure I'm doing pretty good to get my ass on a treadmill 3-4 days a week. No way I have that in me anymore. Probably when I was 25, now not so much.

Good luck.

It's an intimidating course for sure, but I'm using it an incentive to get in better shape even if it practically kills me in the process.

Thanks!

I'm confused whether or not there's one in KC next year. I swear back when I first looked, they had one listed as "Tough Mudder - Missouri" that appeared on their map to be in KC, but when you clicked it, it was actually in Poplar Bluff. Now they have the "Missouri" one in the right spot in the map and have another race in KC. But it has no specifics, just says "Coming Soon".

I thought someone died last year from heat exhaustion doing an event like this in Kansas City. Although, I think is was a different sponsor or production than this one. I imagine it may be difficult now to get a license in this area or whatever else is needed.

It was called the Warrior Dash and two people died when they held the event in extreme heat.

I ran the Warrior Dash that year and I'm doing it again this year. It is so much fun.

Step up to 12 miles and do Tough Mudder!

Actually I would like to try a Warrior Dash as well as a Spartan Race.

Here is a cool first person view of the course we ran on Saturday. Not my video.
