Yep!
Sore today 
Did it as Mr Motivator if anyone saw me 
Loads easier not doing it in the chicken costume like last year, although the course was tougher.

Respect 
It was so hilly! Running on a treadmill didn't help at all
Did you travel from Cornwall to Winchester?

Yep. Left at 3am yesterday.
Entered the 9:45 wave.
Done by about half twelve I think, there or there abouts.
Home for 6pm 
Yeah, loads hillier than last year. Annoyed me with people trying to avoid the Mud on Mud Mile! Pretty much the reason I take part in the events 
Got through electric eel fine, until I was pulling myself out and got a shock right on the arse  
Fire in your Hole was awesome too.

Now that is dedication 
I don't get why people avoid stuff at all, why bother doing it lol. Mud mile was epic it was so much muddier than when I last did it! Almost lost my shoes...
The slide was the bollocks and I avoided being electrocuted winner

Yes, those of us who have done Mudders previously do a different obstacle, as such 'avoiding' the electric shock therapy (although we still do electric eel).
Instead we slide down a water slide, through fire.
I saw loads of people avoiding the mud so I bombed in and covered them all 
Can't wait for the official photos.

As in, I didn't get electrocuted but I still did the obstacle....
I was throwing mud at my mates including the couple who walked round! I hope I actually get a photo this time last time I had none

Mud MIle in that last year was a killer! Especially the hill after it 
Never mind road running, get out around the park, anywhere with hills and grass. One of the blokes I did it with runs marathons, but found the hills really hard going.

Yeah I'd believe it. I've been running on treadmills and my ankles felt really weak on this course due to rough terrain
Mud mile was wicked this year a lot muddier the last one I did was longer but not as muddy, just ankle height instead of above knee height lol

We did a local event called Tuff Enuff.
Piece of piss compared to a Tough Mudder as it's only 6 mile.
However, the first mile is through a bog, where in places I had trouble standing up (I'm 6ft2).
Was immense, just not knowing what you were stepping in to

Enema was better than last year as there seemed more ice in the second chamber, so it took you by surprise

Definetly, it didn't really have any ice in it last time, so I sure got a surprise when I popped my head up, as you can see!!
