Tough Mudder

October 22nd
Todd and his buddy, Nelson signed up for the Tough Mudder in Wintergreen, VA.  Tough Mudder is a 10 mile obstacle course designed by British Special Forces.  It's not really a race because they don't care about times, it's all about finishing and working together.  There were 27 different obstacles through out the course and most of them had to do with mud and water.  They had to swim in ice cold water (and had to submerge their heads completely), run through fire, crawl through dark tunnels with mud and other things under them, and run through live wires and get shocked with electricity. The temperature that day was only in the 50's and they were crazy and wore only shorts, gloves and bandanas!
