    My boyfriend did it in June. He said the electric shocks were not the mild "zap" he was expecting; they were actually knocking people off their feet. He described it like being punched really hard in the back!

    He's signing up to do it next year. :eek:

    My boss did Tough Mudder last weekend and said it was an amazing experience. He agrees that the electric shocks are a lot worse than you would expect and his friend got stuck and was shocked a lot!

    He also said that the mud trenches he crawled through were layered at the bottom with stones so ended up with really scratched up, bloody arms.

    I did Men's Health Survival of the fittest. Swimming under a net in ice cold water in November whilst being hosed in the face. Not a pleasant experience....

    It's all about the Spartan Race anyway ;)
