About a year ago Tim discovered his love for Tough Mudders by completing in one in Austin, TX with his friends the Easton brothers. Then he did another one with a different group of guys a reasonable 6 months later in Bastrop, TX. Then Kris Easton invited him and the other Easton brothers to Lake Tahoe to do one of these crazy/awesome (depending who you are) races the last weekend of September. Cool right? Yes, and he had a ton of fun. But then the crazy dude signed up for another one scheduled to be run only a week later. This one was with his co-workers and I finally got to go and see what all the fuss was about.

Getting ready to jump into the Arctic Enema - yeah, it's basically and ice bath that goes over your head.

They had to climb up that inside part that inclines towards you. pictured below:

12.5 muddy miles and countless obstacles later these five have definitely earned their beers,
plus a water bottle for Tim. Cheers!
