Tough Mudder

Alex ‘Criminoli’ Cimaroli and I ran the tough mudder in Mansfield Ohio. It was tough and muddy for sure, but more muddy than tough. There were a ton of sections where I couldn’t even consider what I was doing running because the mud was so thick. Criminoli was losing his shoes throughout the race. My parents and Maggie came to watch.

Some clean shoes before the start Going strong at the beginning before any obstacles Approaching the first one Approaching the ice bath Freezing cold after the ice, and about two steps after I rolled my ankle

Walking off the ankle roll Alex and I got together at this mud climb He is up to his neck in muddy water I got stuck on this one Getting back into stride after a less muddy section

This obstacle felt like a game show. Climbling over the wall And running away from it High jump into the water pit

Climbing out of the cold water afterward I couldn’t run up Mt. Everest the first time. But I made it the second time. And then stuck around to help a few other people make it I was being careful not to touch the electrical wires

Until this dude bulldozed me into them Alex sneaking through the wires with his shoes in his hands Luckily nobody bulldozed him We finally finished Me and Maggie after I finished
