11 Funky
Monkey
Monkey bars sure are fun when your five, but
these have a few added twists. Greased bars
above and icy water below. Better hold on tight.
Monkey bars built with a vertex, so they actually have
an incline, then decline. Greased. I failed miserably,
and ended up having to swim out and around the
structure as punishment for falling in. This requires
swimming under a wall, marking the first time I was fully
submerged. I start seriously doubting my ability to
perform multiple laps here.
12 Creek
Crusade
Ever walk past a disgusting, brown creek with
awful smelling mud and think, "I sure am glad Iam not stuck in the middle of that"?
The organizers were apparently uncomfortable with
providing a segment where you just have to run, andthrew in ankle-eating mud. Saw someone lose a shoe
trying to navigate this.
13 Log Bog Jog Because running through a swamp isn't tough
enough, you will have to hop over and climb
under a series of downed trees.
Worried the mud wasn't difficult enough, they then
incorporated trees.
14 Spider's Web Flight your way up and over this swinging cargo
net. The view from the top is nice but we
recommend making your way down as quickly as
humanly possible.
Try to scale a loose-hanging cargo net being scaled by
5 other people. Swing wildly in the wind. Re-attempt.
Engage in more swinging. Eventually establish a
system to alternate climbs.

15 Peg Legs Balance is a must if you want to make your way
successfully across the tops of these telephone
poles.
Hop from stump to stump, sticking 1-3 feet out of the
water. The second time my long legs saved me, as I
was able to reach each one. Others weren't so lucky.
16 Devil's Beard Try as you might, this low-lying cargo net will trap
you like a fly in a web.
A hill is covered in a huge, heavy cargo net. Crawl up it.
Yeeha.
17 Kiss of Mud Plan on getting a face full of mud as you crawl
through this mud pit with barb wire forcing you to
keep your head down.
A few lines of barbed wire aren't difficult to crawl under.
However, this is 50+ yards up a steep hill under barbed
wire.

18 Boa
Constrictor
Head down a narrow tunnel as the water level
inside slowly rises closer to the top. When you
finally make it out your reward is crawling up the
other side.
Another event designed to break you. Feeling the water
rise until you must strain your neck for air as you're
crawling farther down the tube sucks. Additionally
awful: 3/4 of the way through you exit the water, and
are simply stuck worming your way up a frictionlesstube. Not for the claustrophobic.

19 Shake -n-
Bake
The old tar-and-feather routine the Tough Mudder
way. We will make sure to get you nice and wet
before forcing you to crawl through a lengthy
sand pit.
OMG this event was so amazing! After heading through
deep frigid water, more barbed wire awaits. But the
ground is covered in sod, providing the only insulating
experience of the race. I honestly contemplated taking
a break here to warm up.
20 Logjammin' Try not to bang your head as you make your way
over and under this series of logs.
Generic obstacle course event requiring runners to
climb over and logs. Well, it would be generic but for
the barbed wire everywhere, forcing competitors
through the path of most resistance.
