Here's a description from the WI State Journal:
"The Wisconsin debut of Tough Mudder, a 10-mile obstacle course of mud, walls, burning bales of hay, tubes, steep hills and electricity, had 7,500 participants slogging their way through a course designed by a guy who spent five years chasing terrorists in the Middle East and Southeast Asia."

Great idea, huh?! So after months of hard work and training.... we did it! And it was awesome - what a riot! The hills were steep, the walls were tall, most of the water was disgusting, and I have minor road rash on my rear..... but I would do it again... it was all for fun, and the camaraderie was the best part. Everyone helped everyone, even those not on your team. We finished in just under 3 1/2 hours.
