You can have my entry if you want :-pAre you mental?
It's something I do want to do but the entry fee is a bit much I feel
Anyway you're far too young to have a midlife crisis and Tough Mudder is definitely a midlife crisis thing!

My mate who is also 28 has done it the last 2 years running but he's a running freak
Can I not have a mid-mid life crisis

Yup. Dreading it more than anything else, but at least I have the reward of the Foo Fighters gig 3 days later
Karen's neices' husband (whatever kind of relation that is!) did it this year, I don't think it's too bad if you pace yourself - more energy-sapping than endurance. He showed us pictures of him running through electric cables they had dangling down from a frame, that put me off much more than the physical effort!
Are you doing it solo or in a team??
Aye, these gig ticket prices are getting ridiculous ...Are you mental?

Some folk I know did the Tough Mudder last year as a team and all reckoned it is more about upper body strength and all-round strength than running. Just saying ...
BMF Falkirk or Dundee or Perth are your friends !

No you cannot - just another example of the youth trying to take something away from us auld gits.
You were doing so well until this part
... whereupon you got disqualified for being (far) too young to qualify.

Why you cheeky young...
You'd better run - 'cos you couldn't catch me on a bike!

Yeah that's very true, gone are the days of struggling round the kelty loop for you
Solo. And yes, total lack of upper body strength is what's going to be the major problem. Hoping that gym plus regular trips to Avertical World will really help.

If you can't lift your arms after your trip there pop in and see Maddie - her student flat is on the same lane. She won't be any help but she can make you a herbal tea and laugh at you on my behalf...
