T-Minus 6 Days: The Line Between Mental Grit and Insanity

6. Will DC’s regrouping made easy and regrouping sucks strategies pay off in Miami?




DC has documented his challenges in training over the course of several posts.  Both knee and shoulder injuries have hampered his training for both the Miami Mudder and ultimately the World’s Toughest Mudder.  He has been able to push through these injuries with a healthy dose of “Mental Grit” and record consecutive 20 mile weeks through some rugged terrain.  There is a fine line between "Mental Grit" and just plain "Insanity".  Each of us struggle with that fine line in terms of training and competing. It will be interesting to see if and how these injuries impact our first Mudder of 2013.

  1. I am still laughing on this one. This graphic is the best and frankly I would love a scooter. Seeing an orthopedic on Wednesday to look at the shoulder. Xrays on the knee and shoulder are negative so no bone chips floating around. All of that equates to a Mudder in Miami. And I am saving the Insanity for WTM. That is still a ridiculous notion in my mind.
