Ice Ice Baby - T Minus 5 Days

The time has come for the team of three to reunite and run what may be our only Tough Mudder of the year in our home state of Virginia.  Actually that is no longer the home state for all three of us as D Dub C has moved to North Carolina.  The countdown is on and TM Virginia is just 5 short days away.  The map is up and you will notice the arsenal of both new and revised obstacles that were promised for the coming year.


Some of these obstacle revisions are exciting like Funky Monkey 2.0.  We sampled this obstacle at last year's World's Toughest Mudder.  It was a bit flawed with bungee cords and to be honest I was quite flawed in my approach.  Other obstacles are less exciting like the revised Arctic Enema 2.0.  This obstacle is not scary but the thought of being that cold just sticks in your head on the entire course.  The thought of now sliding under a chain link fence into the ice water is not something any of us are looking forward to. This is being billed as the scariest ice experience since the Ice Ice Baby world tour.  (Full Disclosure:  I did attend one of his concerts back in the day)

To get through Arctic Enema 2.0 the team will undoubtedly have to STOP...COLLABORATE...and LISTEN because Tough Mudder is back with a brand new invention. I'm sure we will all weigh in on the obstacles during the aftermath.  Until then enjoy the fact that now those lyrics will be stuck in your head all day!
