web-goddess: Official Tough Bloke Pictures

Wednesday, December 17, 2008

RunningBlog: The Official Tough Bloke Challenge Pictures are now available! They had photographers on the course in certain spots, so if you wanted to see us on the actual obstacles, now you can. [Me / Rodd] I'll leave it up to Clare and Emily whether they want to share theirs with the whole Internets.

Snookums in the mud

I told you it was muddy. (More after the jump...) [more...]

Before the start

Hurdles

Hurdles. We had to go over and under these giant posts.

Thumbs

Running between obstacles. The course doubled back at this point, which is why you can see people heading the other direction. (Yes, I'm doing the thumbs again. And the girl behind me is laughing because I said, "CAMERA! LOOK TOUGH!")

Suspension bridge

Balance beams. I made it all the way across without falling!

Before the start

After the beams. Yeah, we'd hit some mud by this point.

Before the swing

The dreaded rope swing. Snookums prepares to leap.

SPLOOSH!

I hesitated on the swing. It took a conscious effort to step off the platform.

Mud

Trying to extricate ourselves from the mud.

Dirty

I have never felt so muddy and dirty in my entire life.

There were loads more obstacles, but those are all the photos we can find for now. We're still combing through the "unidentified" pile. (Everyone's sticky numbers came off in the mud.)

That looks like so much fun! Nice jersey, btw.

That's awesome. You look like you're having a blast in those photos.

I tried to smile whenever a camera was around. There was a lot of misery too. It's impossible to run in a big flapping wet muddy shirt and not look miserable. :)
