did you do much training specifically towards the event? ive got three months to train and havent been in the gym for 4 months, i do a bit of running though and can knock out 10 k's pretty easily
Specifics training... As long as you can do pull ups you will be fine and can swim a bit..
I didn't do enough training that's for sure... Found my legs got smashed especially towards the end where it was like 6km of mud, anything to increase your quad strength is a good idea I think..

Sounds like a win. I would end up face first in the mud while watching what they were doing instead of myself.
A mate and his brother have entered the Sydney one this year, not sure they know what they have got themselves in to. They are both fairly fit, they run a shitload and recently walked Kokoda but they not sure why you need to be able to do chinups etc.

They would be like "Hey you filthy pig, you cant do that here..."
And i would be like " But it's mine and will wash it as fast or slow as i like"

Best event on the planet. Awesome fun. You make it as easy or as hard as you want to. Last year I did it with a group of 8, a few mates and their wives. All of us at varying levels of fitness, so we just strolled the course and had a ball.
This year 2 mates and I had a serious crack and did it in just on 2 hours.
Highly recommend it! That ice bath is ridiculously cold.

Last year's Sydney event was awesome. Harder than I thought & more fun than I thought. Better in every way than I expected.
Signed up for Sydney in February as soon as it was open. Very disappointed it was moved to April as I took time off work & bought plane tix. Can't do April.
I am doing brisbane though. As disappointed as I was with the organisers, it's still the best event I've ever done.

Last years Sydney was awesome the last couple of kms were killer

You're precisely the type of person who signs up for these races, the type of person who thinks running a race where you play in the mud and climb some fucking wall elevates you over other people in the fitness community, the type of person who still says "winning" and "AROO", the exact type of person who makes me shake my head. Toughmudders are a corny little trend in fitness, a blip in the grand scheme of things, the crossfit of running. Once, I stop seeing signs for spartan races and toughmudders and hear people talking about them like they're so grand, I will be overjoyed.
