Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

Hello everyone!
I just joined the challenge, I think, and wanted to make sure that I joined the correct team.
Thanks,

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

(Is this you?) (I googled tough mudder images. Unbelievable!! Not for this wimp!!!) No, that is not me, but the setting is quite familiar. The worst of the obstacles for me, was 'Walk the Plank" which is a 15' platform above the water (really cold, limestone mine water.) Now the 15' isn't bad, but c...

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

Jeff S - 11,000 One tough mudder Yep, I did the Mudder last weekend and finished all 11.5 miles. My knees and tendons are still paying for this, but it was worth it. Definitely harder than last years century ride. Sorry for the lack of production in last months Challenge, but between running and dea...

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

Cool...didn't even know I crossed 1.2. Just joined up for the next challenge, not sure how many meters I am going to post since the TM is coming up, the weather is breaking and I will be doing more running than rowing.

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

Well, it has taken longer than I wanted originally but I have hit 200k lifetime meters logged online. It would have probably taken less time but since the month has started I have been doing weights, running, AND rowing. Not necessarily on the same day. I am trying to get myself ready for a warrior...

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

3 Heather Ramsay F 54 525,000

Nope...no competition here!

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

Congratulations to our "Big Dog" David, who reached his challenge goal of 600k today. Way to row, man!!! 600k... Good God! Perhaps our resident blacksmith could come up with and hammer out a Team TimbukTOO "Iron A$$ Award. Maybe something like this: http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT8x8CuDZ...

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

I always have my ipod strapped to my arm with some good music loaded...usually set to shuffle so that I have the element of surprise in my row. I generally have the TV on with cc running as well since I like some visual with my audio, and staring at grey cinder blocks just won't do. What is funny th...

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

So I tried something yesterday which I have never tried before...the timed 2k. I don't erg competitively, so it has never been something that I bothered with. But for some reason, yesterday morning I felt like laying it down and seeing what I could do at 90ish percent. And I was rewarded by a sub 7m...

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

Another great link about TM training.
Thank you so much....but now I am beginning to see that my worst 'fears', might be realized...more weights, more running, less erg.

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

Thanks for the idea about runnersworld.com. I haven't run since I had to do the mile in high school, twenty odd years ago, and was perfectly content with running not being in my life. However that needs to change since I was badgered into joining my brother-in-law's team for the TM. We signed up to ...

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

OK, Off the wall question...

Has anyone on the team done one of the Tough Mudder events?

If so, I would be interested in hearing your thoughts/feelings about how it was & perhaps some tips for training.

TIA.
