Oh cool! Yes, I’m a local! Haha. I know a few people doing the Seattle one too! My hubby would have maybe wanted to do that one, but its right after our new baby will be here so no go! 🙂 Would love to hear what you think of it compared to Whistler!

Just saw this post. My husband and I did the mudder in Whistler too. Loved it. In fact, we are headed to the Seattle mudder at the end of September. I didn’t realize that you were so close. We live in Victoria. Floow your blog, but didn’t realize you were so nearby. 🙂

In reply to Frances Maddalozzo. Nice to meet you Frances and thanks again for taking the camera! I can't believe you've already had 4 kids...you look amazing! I told Brent I thought it was your first child! I know, I heard about those amazing stories later today! Crazy! So inspiring!!!

I think you’d like it…you don’t really care about your time, you just want to get through, and you’re meeting people along the way and a stranger would help you up a wall! The whole team does everything…its not a relay. Brent didn’t find the cardio bad at all….he rarely found himself breathing hard. Its very stop and go, the farthest you run in one stint is usually 1-2km.

Hi Christine,
Thanks for lending me your camera! One of our kids dropped our and didn’t get one in time for the event. Your husband was real instrumental in my hubby’s training (picture above, Matt’s on the left)! So thank you Brent! I know you would have been there but you were right the stretch was long and I myself was struggling just to get to the spectators arena being 3 months pregnant with our 5th!
I’m so proud of my husband, just like you! I was surprised to see so many woman doing it! I was at the finish line waiting to shoot photos of the group, for about 2 hours. I was amazed to see so many amazing things, like a man on dialysis complete the race! Another story of a woman who completed it in honor of her husband who died a month before! A group carrying an injured team member up the final stretch! It was all about team work!

I heard of a ton of people on my Facebook doing the Tough Mudder but haven’t really heard about it before…sounds intense! I am crap at team things because I get so psyched out not wanting to hold other people up. otherwise I might give it a go. But a half-marathon – I doubt I could run that distance with my knee. As a team is it a relay or does everyone have to complete the half marathon individually? Congrats to your hubby though, it sure looks like a fun time!
