The dream to do a Tough Mudder race started last Fall with a coworker who had done a few races and rhapsodized about how fun and challenging it was. He described running 13 miles, jumping in icy water, getting coated with mud, and getting electrocuted several times. Boy that sounds like a blast huh? I promptly said no thanks. He kept working on me and mentioning it until finally convincing me to pull up the website and view the obstacles. He described it as the best team building event on the planet. After several weeks of these TM sales pitches it actually started to sound appealing. After several more weeks I caved, signed up, and enlisted several more coworkers to join in the fun with me. Jump ahead to Christmas 2012 when training officially began in earnest.

So this is Kevin. The instigator, mastermind, and team captain for the ensuing madness. Hi Kevin!
