Are you Tough Enough?

Well, after months of training, buying dri-fit clothes, and even a carbo-load or two, it was time for Tough Mudder in Austin, TX.

Garrett, Brian, and Nathan began a little after 9 AM on their adventure... I don't think any of them knew what they were getting in to.

Clean Nathan--- before the race

Who doesn't love a quick dip in a mud/ice bath?

Nathan sure does!

Look at those smiles!  That's probably a mile into the race (out of 10)...

Of course there has to be a mud slip-in-slide!

The building of death... The boys ran into this building filled with smoke and then found out that there was a mud obstacle inside-- and it was completely dark.

Sweet girls filming their hubbies.

There's Brian!

Brian going through the electric tentacles!!  They were hooked up to a car battery and shocked you as you ran through them.  And the mud was somethin' else... This was my favorite obstacle to watch because about 75% of runners fell flat on their face because of the shocks or because they got stuck in the mud.  That sounds very mean of me, but this obstacle had the biggest crowd, I swear!

There's Nathan... Yep, he fell!  Poor guy got his shoe stuck in all the mud so he had to go back and get it.

What a man.

After the 10 mile race/18 obstacle course.  Great job, guys!!  They were very muddy and tired, and probably pretty hungry, so we took them to Whataburger :)

He did it!
