I might seriously injure myself doing this?

[Onthewrongsideof30]

I'm fit and active. Train 6 days and due to a bit of personal unhappiness (fertility issues) have decided to throw myself into exercise, while I deal with the grief. I'm due to do a tough mudder shortly. Half marathon with army style obstacles. I have trained for it.
However I have read about all the things that can go wrong, broken teeth, infection, broken ankles etc. plus they make you sign a waver for person injury. I'm scared, I love running but I don't like being cold, dirty, heights or in small spaces. All of which the obstacles will involve. Should I swallow my pride and cancel or face the fear and do it anyway? Help !

Best moment - getting up Everest first time.
Worst - ripping the arse out of my compression tights and having to wear my vest as a skirt from about 4km.
Yeah they were happy to have my stamina and upbeat chat during the long km's uphill and I was happy to have their strength to pull me up. It was a great reminder that we are stronger than we think. Needless to say I'm be wearing trousers and long sleeves to work for a while. My limbs are a mess !

Hahahaha.

Hope you’re not too horribly stiff!!

You bloody legend, you!! Well done

Brilliant well done!!

Will you do another?

Yup - committed to it again next year 🙈

Ooh well done wrongside That's a great achievement. RIP your compression tights So pleased you still have all your teeth.

I'll watch out for your thread next year when you have a wobble about injuring yourself again

@ILostItInTheEarlyNineties nope fear has gone from it. I proved I can do it, even the upper body ones !
