Tough Mudder, have you heard of it?

Saturday, August 11, 2012

If you do not see the next Sigma book summer 2013, you know why! Tough Mudder, have you heard of it or done this? [look at the attached photo, this is true and continue reading on below]

Tough Mudder


Believe it or not it is for research...alright, I am going to have fun too. Anyway, I started last week training for this challenge. Just now, I finally got myself out of denial and looked at ALL the obstacles. One word, OUCH!

Some obstacles that caught my attention, to name but a few: Electroshock Therapy, Kiss of Mud, Mud Mile, Walk the Plank, and Gauntlet. Full list of Obstacles here

Place your bets now...Do I survive? Yes/No [Like for yes and comment for why I do not survive]

I'm going to say you survive, but you're going to get awfully sore getting there! It does sound like an exciting challenge. :)

I'm also going to say you'll survive. I'm not sure if "training" can really prepare a person for an event of this magnitude. It's going to be a whole different thing when you encounter a mass of bodies all headed in the same direction. Keep your writing hand safe & good luck,

Please survive because I`m very much want to read the next "Sigma" book))))))

You could just buy a red sports car instead... Seriously - best wishes and keep that bathtub of ice cubes stocked!

Is Braf Thor one of your favorite authors? I saw that you mentioned Scot Harvath in your book "The Doomsday Key", just curious... P.S. About the obstacles.. Your going to fail or at least at the end you'll hope you did. hahaha

"No Pain No Gain" Mr. Rollins! Go for it!...

Yes....you will survive. But will have a ton of pain when you are finished. Look forward to seeing some pictures. Bottom line sounds like a ton of fun! Good luck....

You could look at the Spartan Races as well. Another obstacle style course run.

I say survuve...I too want the sigma force adventures to keep coming....

I will wager that you will survive and be thrilled by the experience. I completed the Tough Mudder Missouri last Saturday and have already started training for my next one. One of the most difficult and enjoyable endeavors of my life.

I will wager you survive....authors tend to put much of themselves in their characters so it will be mind over matter and you will win because I want my Sigma series to continue..prepare well. vini vidi vinci
