kiss the mud, so many rocks, so many cuts
The day came round much faster then we anticipated which is probably because we were trying to put it off which is normally how things go in the world when you don't want things to happen. During the amazing warm up which they get everyone to do we had a look round at the people who we were setting off with, I then caught the eye of one of my friends who just said 'we're gunna die aren't we'. She had a point. Me and one of the other girls have a talent for clumsiness and we didn't need a military style obstacle course to make us fall on our face and injure ourselves we are quite capable of doing that whilst trying to complete everyday tasks. It was daunting to say the least but we went for it none the less and we completed it. I didn't do all the obstacles due to my Claustrophobia (it's the devil) I tried but every time I started to get closer to it so did my panic attack, on the Boa constrictor I had to go to the medical tent because I went completely numb and couldn't control my breathing but I wasn't going to stop and it was mile 9 so I carried on running. Now may I just say that Everest is as awful as it sounds. I met a guy there who was a tank and his muscles just made it worse because he was so heavy but you should have heard the cheers when he finally got up. I got up on the fourth attempt but the most awkward way possible i was being held upside down by my friends boyfriend and my boyfriend was sat on his legs. It was something to see I am sure. but we all made it up, and we all finished which was amazing.
Running through Electric shock therapy...the pain on my face is real
If any of you are thinking of doing tough mudder I really urge you to do it. The atmosphere is insane, everyone helped eachother and its just a really awesome experience because you are all going through it together and you all need someone else to help you through it. But what ever you do, do it. I plan to do it again once I get over my injuries from this time around.
My team 'Here for the beer' at the finish line
As you can probably tell this is my first blog, I plan to keep doing it and maybe move to videos on Youtube and maybe broadcasts on YouNow but I am gunna start slowly and see how I get on. I'm just trying to get all my thoughts down on what happens in my life. So if you want to follow that would be great to see everyone elses blogs and videos and make some friends around here.
Love love love
