Tuff Mudder

The Tuff Mudier is a TEN Mile Tuff Man Obstacle Course!
The Race was in Wisconsin.
We went up early and made a family vacation out of it.
We found a yummy Italian Restaurant the night before and we all enjoyed Pizza
 while Heath ate his Pasta.. Fueling Up!
  The Kids made shirts to wear the day of the race... This is McKinnleys.
 
 Trent Trent and Heath Right before the race began... All Nice and Clean and Looking Tuff!
We watched the Men begin the race, then jumped on the ski lift so we could watch them
 in a few of the obstacles.
This Obstacle was called the "Kiss of Mud"
 They had to climb through mud and rocks with Barbwire just above there heads.
  My Hot  Muddy Mudder!
 I Love the face Expressions!



 We all got a lil' Muddy!
This was a Big Sprayer to wash off before they took off again... 
 The race was on a ski resort so they were running up and down the mountains... and it was so steep...
 here they had to run up hills holding up heavy netting.
 The Fire Run!

Here are a few more of the events... 19 in all


 Can you imagine going through tubes with water? FREZZING COLD WATER? Ahhh!
 The Final Obstacle was running through LIVE WIRE!
Heath ran through getting zapped a few times and we thought he was in the clear...
Then BAM he dropped in the Mud!

Whoo Hooooo! I can hear him Screaming Now!
Look at that Dirty Dude and his Big Smile knowing he was at the FINISH LINE!
Heath was Given High Fives to the Crowd!
He started the race with 2 sleeves.. But, came out with 1/2 a sleeves Cut up brusied and beaten!
But As Happy As Can Be!

Toughest Event On the Planet!

We Love You Heath! We are SOOO PROUD OF YOU!
You are the TUFF MUDDER CHAMP!

Heath would like to throw out a Challange to his Brothers and anyone else,
To Run the Tuff Mudder 2012 with him!
