I am a running purest, never been the adventurist; except for the occasional XC race or trail run. A friend challenged me to race him in a Tough Mudder. I have generally been the quicker road racer but he is better biathlete and triathlete. Actually the only tri I did was a spint and if not for the 5k run my friend would have left me standing still at the start. So now he wants to exercise his multiathletic prowess over me in the Tough Mudder.
As a running purest do I stand a chance against my tri friend? Have any of the running folk here at let's run tried the Mudder? How did you do? Was it as hard as advertised? Did you like it?
I know running is a good part of the challenge and I am a faster half marathoner than my friend. He trumps me in spades in the pool and is a better cyclist but I am simply the better runner.
