Old Man AL Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm going to be down in the lone star republic for the Easter weekend, and I want to try my first mud run. Anybody going to this? I'd be happy to have some NF running (I'll be honest, there's gonna be some walking, maybe a lot) buddies. Maybe we can even get some sort of coordinated theme thing going on? Could be fun, or it might kill me, who knows! 1 Quote Level 2 Human Squire I want to be a Paladin.

Old Man AL Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I lol'd at that, for real. Almost made me blow hot coffee out my nose. 1 Quote Level 2 Human Squire I want to be a Paladin.

Barfly Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'm going to the Tahoe Tough Mudder in June with a bunch of youngsters - I'll let you know how funny it turns out Quote The past is only smoke in a dream.

Old Man AL Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Awesome. I've heard that those are challenging, and that was from a former Army Ranger. I hope to do one of those eventually, right now I'm not ready. Mud run in Dallas doesn't look too tough, and it's only 5k, but I'm hoping it will give me a baseline for what I need to train for, and where I'm at now.

Barfly Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I've done a few races with my son, but this is my first obstacle race. I'm running with the same group of guys that peer-pressure me into a lot of other macho stuff like that. Not sure what the team strategy will be, but I've got a 12 week training plan; I want to be a middle-of-the-packer, at least. Quote The past is only smoke in a dream.

Old Man AL Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 It was awesome. I was able to do all of the obstacles except the monkey bar ropes. I have a little to much gravity for those. I think I'm going to build that obstacle at home and start doing those and pull ups. Quote Level 2 Human Squire I want to be a Paladin.

Barfly Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Cool! How'd you feel at the end? Or after? Quote The past is only smoke in a dream. Lvl 6 Ranger Berzerker STR 9 DEX 4 STA 9 CON 8 WIS 2 CHA 8 Barfly ain't even tryin'... Link to comment
Old Man AL Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 At the end I felt tired, then I had 3 beers, and I felt great! I want to do more of these, and become a competitor that actual has a shot at the podium. Quote Level 2 Human Squire I want to be a Paladin.
