I’m out in the Poconos shooting the first Pennsylvania Tough Mudder of 2012. Saturday was a rich day. Some highlights:
I’ve seen Mudders carry talismans through the course before, but this was magical.
I don’t know how he and the Hoff got on, but I hear that framed picture inspired many a Mudder out in those woods.
On a day that started at 28 degrees, jumping into blue ice water seemed an especially bad idea. Especially if it makes you look like a blueberry. Or a smurf?
There was an overzealous Marine on Walk The Plank (“Get off my obstacle!”). Can’t fault his efficiency, though. He cleared the hell out of that platform.
The electricity was most certainly “on.”
Nacho Libre was in the house.
As was Princess Peach. Superman just looked on, doing nothing.
I think this captures the claustrophobic re-entry into Boa Constrictor nicely.
Another first: some sort of piggyback IT department made it through the entire course.
Re-imagined acronyms.
As ever, the hardest-earned headband anywhere.
Post-faceplant headshot.
And, finally, A PROPOSAL AT THE FINISH LINE.
She said yes!!
Many more of my photos from today’s event are on Tough Mudder’s Facebook page.
Until tomorrow.
