My brother has been training all year to run a Tough Mudder. It is a 10-mile race with 20+ obstacles like crawling through mud and over 10-foot-tall walls. I decided to support him as a spectator.
Then I decided I might as well join myself too! So I signed up as a participant.
Tom's very buff coworkers joined our team.
The night before, we stayed at a lovely AirBnb house with a pool. We drank wine and ordered a pizza.
I got to watch my first League of Legends game. My brother had to play a game immediately, in order to not "decay" from Diamond League to Platinum. This was tremendously important.
We scoured the AirBnb house looking for a mouse, but there was none. So he had to play on the Macbook trackpad! It was painful. Even as a noob, I could tell he was misfiring everywhere.
The start of the race! Our team is called "I Thought This was a 5k".
It was the day after Halloween, so some of us were in costume.
Post-race! (Some people are already drinking beer and not pictured.)
The most memorable obstacle was sliding into an ice bath.
The second was the "Berlin Wall", where I somehow climbed over a 10-foot wall with no help. I was surprised that I was able to do it, even while I did it. It had tiny, nearly invisible, footholds between the wall planks.
I came home and promptly developed a sinus infection for a week. It has been really disgusting.
It was a bonding experience, and I'm very glad I did it. I don't think I'd ever do it again though, due to the sinus infection.
