Tough Mudder

This weekend I participated in Tough Mudder Scotland 2012. It is a half marathon length assault course designed by special forces and one real challenge!

I was doing it as part of a team from my work, DUSA Dundee. We decided to participate in the challenge back in February and have been training hard since then. The course is set out not as a race but a way to test your stamina, mental grit and camaraderie. It is all about teamwork.

The course carries obstacles such as firewalking, jumping into pools of ice, getting shocked by electricity of up to 10,0000 volts, to name just a few!!!

Through our teamwork and training we all made it to the end earning the orange headband to show we are mudders as well as a t-shirt and a well deserved beer, it was a fantastic feeling!!


So far we have raised £633.75 for Help for Heroes and still taking donations at http://www.bmycharity.com/toughmudderDUSA. Thanks to everyone who has donated and helped along the way and especially to DUSA, who have helped so much funding the travel and our awesome t-shirts!
