Electroshock Aversion: T-Minus 9 Days

9.  Will we ever get used to the shock obstacles within the course?

Electroshock Therapy Proudly Sits in the Background

The whole concept of electroshock within Tough Mudder has been written about in several posts including Leadership Lessons from Electroshock Therapy and Amped Up.  In theory I keep thinking these obstacles that provide the shock will get easier.  We have now been shocked countless times across both the "Electroshock Therapy" and "Electric Eel" obstacles.  Each time it seems to get worse instead of better.  In Miami I lost a shoe and we all took a tumble through Electroshock Therapy.   The shocks in Electric Eel stopped me in my tracks.  With that in mind it is exciting (not really) to see Tough Mudder introduce additional shocking obstacles.  On a related note people around us are noticing positive personality changes that could potentially be a result of these obstacles.

Will the aversion to electroshock continue through the Mid-Atlantic Mudder?  Stay tuned to find out.
