So doing TM this Saturday on the Sunny Coast but it's going to be anything but Sunny. Lots of rain predicted which is alright but looking at a temperature of around 12 degrees in the morning (feels like 8 apparently). Add to that we'll be constantly wet, with obvious ice and water thrown in, would it be worthwhile wearing a skins compression top underneath our shirts. We have team shirts made up which are dri fit but wondering if it would be worth wearing something underneath?
Well done mate, looks like I'm gunna have a wet one for my true grit this weekend. Should be interesting to see how I go with it.Finished TM on Saturday and that was just a mental slog to get through it. Last year, nice sunshine and a pleasant day and this year just rain and more rain. The normal dry tracks to run on where just sludge pits the whole 20k's so you could never really get your footing right and they certainly added alot more muddy hills and muddy pools to wade through and climb.
Failed the prediced obstacles, leap of faith where you had to jump over water and catch a net then climb up. There were 3 jumping spots to choose from ranging from closest to furtherest and we chose the furtherest. I wasn't able to leap my 106kg frame far enough to get a grip and got my fingers to the net but fell straight in, and also hangin tough, trying to sclae your way across hanging rings like a gymnast. Saw majority of people fail this one as it was so slipery with all the rain. Credit to those who did make it.
Half way through the course the cold really set in and alot of people werepulling out as they felt their muscles were just locking up on them, we had 4 fail to finish from our team.
All in all, still was a great day and I can't wait to see what sickness I have picked up this year.
Our team was also on Channel 7 news that night as well, we actually did a fundraising campaign for the last 6 months in memory of my close mates son who he lost 6 years ago (even though the news said 2).

The first one I did in Sydney was like that so brutal on the legs never having stable footing
Keen to do it once more? I'm going round again and joining forces with [MENTION=10519]JazDSpaz[/MENTION]; this time. Wifey is 3 months post baby & is using that as a pathetic excuse to leave me on my pat for the race.
When is it? Live in Brisbane... But keen to do another.
What a poor excuse hahaKeen to do it once more? I'm going round again and joining forces with [MENTION=10519]JazDSpaz[/MENTION]; this time. Wifey is 3 months post baby & is using that as a pathetic excuse to leave me on my pat for the race.
Youve been bitten by it like me lol. 3 tough mudders and a mud run under my belt.I think I'm starting to get addicted to these things. Whilst I'm certainly not the strongest, fastest or fittest, it certainly builds a nice base to stay in shape and healthy. Jack of all trades so to speak.
Might give a smaller one a try within the next 6 months or so.
How much running training do you need for this? I can climb, jump, run through mud and enjoy getting repeatedly electrocuted and being set on fire. But it's been a while since I ran 10km straight (2 years), so do I need to practice some marathon running first? Or will 400m hill sprints be fit level enough for TM.

Quit?! lmao, bet that gets rubbed into him every time you see him afterwards.
No way am I quitting if I start something like this.. maybe on a stretcher though. I hope they have plenty of those ready.
I do like the sound of it, if you pace yourself, and wear appropriate attire, I bet it can be quite a fun day out. I just to need to convince my couch sitting, spliff loving mates of this lol.
