I workout….If the title didn’t give it away yours truly competed in Tough Mudder<\/a>, at Northstar California Ski Resort<\/a>, a few weeks ago. This was my second time! Check out 2012 here<\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nTough Mudder events are hardcore obstacle courses designed to test your
\nall around strength, stamina, mental grit and camaraderie. With the most
\n innovative courses, over one million inspiring participants worldwide
\nto date, and more than $5 million raised for the Wounded Warrior
\nProject, Tough Mudder is the premier adventure challenge series in the
\nworld. <\/i> <\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So why would I compete in probably the toughest event on the planet<\/i>?
\n Because I’m crazy — I’m an athlete and this event pushes ones limits.
\nPlus, its a fun race to rally the girls, wear tutus and get dirty.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you follow along on instagram<\/a> then you saw the progression from clean to very dirty! <\/span><\/span>Yup, that’s me before the race. clean, excited, nervous and ready to start running.<\/span><\/span>

\nMy girl Arica <\/a>and I killed it! We made it across the monkey bars without falling in the water. If you’re familiar with the obstacles<\/a> then you know the Funky Monkey<\/i><\/a> is not easy.<\/span><\/span>

\nDirty girls! A beer never tasted so good. We conquered 12 miles, 22 obstacles and a 2,000 + ft elevation gain. Not to mention at one point we were running straight up the side of the mountain. I would say that beer was well deserved.<\/span><\/span>

\nWill I do it again next year? YES! Who wants to join? It was cold, but we pushed through it and finished in 3.5 hours! Next year my goal is to finish in 3 hours and yes I’ve already started training. Cross training made the biggest difference. Hands down I was in better shape than last year.<\/span><\/span>

\nI’m mostly happy with everything I wore. At the end of the day I
\nkept all my clothes and shoes<\/span><\/b>, which all washed up nicely.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
