Tough Mudder

Last weekend John put his training to the test and participated in the Tough Mudder.  Tough Mudder is one of the toughest obstacle courses out there.  The course in Somerset, Wisconsin that John, Michael and Becca completed was about 11 miles of hilly terrain and 18 insane obstacles along the way.  The course started out with going over a tall wall and also included going through a mud pit, jumping off a 25+ foot wall into ice water, monkey bars, carrying a log for a mile or so, crawling under electric wire and one last wall to climb at the end.  John and team mostly walked between obstacles and finished in just 3.5 hours.  John was also super proud of himself that he completed every obstacle along the course!  He also finished with only some minor scratches and bruises, more of which seemed to appear in days following the event.

Here are just a few pictures from the event.  

 

 

 

 

Megan thought those above pictures of John were really funny, especially because his beard was so muddy.  She took one look at the pictures and said, "What happened to Daddy's beard?"

Oh, and one more of John's recent accomplishments!  Here was the reading of the bathroom scale last week - John saw a weight in the one hundreds!  John would say that he has entered the "onederlands" and is now down about 70 pounds in the last year!  Way to go!
