As some of you know, I did the Pocono Tough Mudder this past weekend with the
GORUCK crew. Some of us had rucks full of beer, some of us had rucks full of bricks, and some had both. We had a blast, with the beer and extra pushups, squats, etc, leading to a 5+ hour time for the course. We pretty much just made a mockery of Tough Mudder. We had a bear lawn gnome filled with weight, a pink cinderblock, a picture of David Hasselhoff we took from the start line, and we picked up a bunch of extra logs along the way. Here are some highlights of the pictures. More can be found here

I'm ready.
These guys pledged to dress as bridges for the event if they raised $4,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project. Needless to say, they succeeded.
Yep, full wedding makeup.
The "before"
About 50 feet in.
Flutter kicks in the creek along the trail. Why? Because. Note the beer staying cold.
Beer made it through most obstacles.
"I didn't even see the logs we were supposed to pick up!" "Uh, this isn't the log carry part. This is just what we do"
Badnewsdabear!
Wearing this mask made everything 10x harder because you can't see.
Made our own trail so we can splash around.
This was the last time GRChicken was seen. He passed away in the water, and was never found.
Cindi the cinderblock making it up the half pipe.
On his second try, he rolled and fell flat on his back. Still having a blast.
Cinderblock means you can't crawl super fast through the water and live electrical wires hanging down. Also, water conducts electricity.
Why not carry a log through the monkey bars?
Showing off the Hoff to the crowd, and doing pullups mid monkey bar.
You need another beer?
The hoff!
Showing off.
Note beer in hand.
Didn't spill the beer!
Balancing on a wobbly balance beam, while carrying a cinderblock, after going for 12 miles and drinking a lot of beer makes things very interesting.
