This is my new goal I must accomplish, just finishing is platinum level bad ass. I would love to get an OB team together. Who would be down for the cause? Are you a bad enough dude to run thru fire, mud, barbed wire, and electrified water? The 2012 season just started, so we would have time to prepare. Heaven or Hell, let's rock!!

I was so hoping this was a Jayne Cobb thread.

Geezus these guys are badass.

I wanted to do the Spartan race http://www.spartanrace.com/ but my knees are so shot that I cant run which sucks because all those vents have a running portion.

Short Round and I are doing the Warrior Dash in August in NY.

I just did the Tri-State tough mudder this past November with three of my friends. It was a pretty amazing experience, took just under three hours.

I also did the warrior dash up in Windham this past summer, doesn't really compare. The dash was pretty much a race up a mountain with a few obstacles, whereas the mudder was more "let's push ourselves to the limit and feel like badasses". People are helping each other through almost every obstacle.

Both were very, very fun though.

I definitely recommend trying tough mudder, even if it's only once just to complete it. I'm ready to do a few more mudders in the upcoming season. You don't have to be in insane shape to finish, there's no time limit, you just have to be determined.

The world's toughest mudder on the other hand... that's just crazy.

I will be doing a tough murder in November on the east coast, and then in august I will be doing a goruck challenge which can be found here. www.goruckchallenge.com but would be up for doing a tough mudder with ob peeps

Oh man, I REALLY want to challenge myself to do one of these. My cousin Amy did in NJ and it looked like the most badass and fun thing ever!

I'm doing the MetroDash in Brooklyn come May, so it'll introduce me to such races minus the mud. Then looking at the Spartan Race in NJ come falltime!

Christina, if I train hard enough until then I am totally going to do the Spartan Race in NJ with ya!

That would be awesome! It's in Early September!

It don't matter what race it is, I would just like to get an OB team together for one of these races. We need to coordinate what dates would work and then do it like bosses.

There is also a Tough Mudder in NJ during October which is amazingly fun as well.

Just signed up for tough mudder in Jersey. Registration opened today

Use the code 'ElectroShockTriState' to receive $10 off regular registration. This code is valid until midnight EST on Thursday, February 16th.

I'd be down for a ob tough mudder group.

my first obstacle run of the year is in two weeks. I lost some strength when I fractured my arm almost 2 months ago and was on limited activity, but I should be in better shape then my first warrior dash. Either way, my goal is just to finish.

How's everyone building up their stamina for these things?

I am not motivated enough to try to participate in the tough mudder, but I'm a kick ass spectator. I will cheer my friends on and take action shots like there is no tomorrow! I went to one back in Nov, and I'm going to the one in WI in Sept.

Major respect points for anyone who attempts these.

Saw Billy & Tom's pictures, holy shit is that inspiring! I'm actually pretty interested in it now...

damn, I have this next week... http://rocksolidmudrun.com/map.html

Anyone have tips on how to jump walls without asking for help? Or try to train without having said walls available?

Right now, I'm working on pull ups, jumping squats, squats, and standing bicycle crunches to do better next time. But any other ideas would be welcome
