Tough Mudder

Today Charles finished a goal of his for a long time...completing a Tough Mudder Competition!  The course is just over 12 miles and had 27 obstacles that were all Army related.  I love the fact that this competition is all about team work.  A lot of the obstacles cannot be completed on your own, so your comrades have to chip in.  Some of the highlights for obstacles included: LOTS of mud pits/trenches/tunnels, "Arctic Enema" which is a swim through an ice bath, "Electric Eel" where you crawl under barbed wire with hanging electric wires carrying voltage, "Funkey Monkey" where you use monkey bars to go across water, and "Mount Everest" which is a 15ft wall greased up that you have to run up and grab a teammate.  Charles finished in about 3hours which was amazing.  So proud of him and his determination!
