In the last 24-hours, much talk has been centered around Tough Mudder. Yesterday athletes in the community were sent out welcome emails to become part of the new Tough Mudder Ambassador program. Within one of the emails apparently a few key lines were quietly added in which got the community buzzing yesterday, an apparent leak with the location of the highly anticipated WTM 2016 location.
WTM is the Vatican City of The Community, the gathering place where people shed their regular existences to express their extraordinary resolve. 1200 runners toe the line in Las Vegas, where our head deacon, Sean Corvelle, provides us with a little more insight into ourselves we haven’t thought of.
This article applies to many supplement companies, but I will be focusing on the one that is the basis for writing this article, Cellucor. While I think Cellucor makes some excellent products such as C4, which I have used in the past, I think they are poorly aligned as a sponsor for Tough Mudder.
With World’s Toughest Mudder in its 2nd year in Las Vegas (5th year overall), the inevitable question athletes that went to one and not the other is how did 2015 compare to 2014? While the terrain was very similar, the challenges faced were very different. Here is a quick rundown for those that did one year and not the other.
Once a year these two worlds collide in an international competition called World’s Toughest Mudder (WTM). Even if you are not an ultra-distance OCR athlete, WTM needs to be on your bucket list of races, and here is why…
The Lake Las Vegas WTM course is pretty similar to the landscape from a particular movie from my childhood - the desert of Tatooine. It's actually quite remarkable how the "resort section" of Lake Las Vegas has lush green colf courses replete with water fountains, finely manicured lawns wrapping the easments from hotel to hotel. As soon as you reach the cul-de-sac at the top of the hill and enter Tough Mudder land there's a dramatic shift in scenery
The Tough Mudder crew set up shop this year in one of the most amazing locations imaginable. The 10+ mile course was literally along the New York Harbor. Mudders spent the weekend with a little less mud than what you would expect at a typical event; however the views of the Statue of Liberty and The New York skyline made this an unforgettable event.
Over the weekend, a number of races took place around America and beyond. This week we feature Savage Race, BattleFrog, Spartan Race and Terrain Racing.
This Hack came on the coldest night of my life. It was my first World’s Toughest Mudder (WTM) in 2012. I had no idea what I was getting into except for the little information that former Navy SEAL, Stew Smith, and ultra runner, Jared Busen, could provide on how to prepare for a 24 hour event that would be in and out of water.
