Tough Mudder

Yesterday Bryan and his 3 brothers completed the Tough Mudder in Tahoe.  It's basically a 13 mile obstacle course up the ski slope and back that took a lot of training.  Yes, they're crazy.

The Mudders (sporting the Gorilla face which inspired the team name The Gorillas) leaving my house in the wee hours of the morning

They numbered his forehead so they could identify him just in case he died on the trail 

The Gorillas- Chad looks really happy to have just signed his life away on that waiver 

This is one of the obstacles- we were too late to see our guys but that guy at the back was screaming what we can only guess was obscenities in Japanese the whole time.  Glad Jilly doesn't know Japanese! 

Jilly playing with her Grandma while we waited.  We think we deserve Tough Mudder status as well because we stood at the Finish Line in the blazing sun for 3 hours.  They told us to expect them in 2 hours- it took 4.5!

These are the last 2 obstacles- they had to walk across those beams then through those hanging yellow wires that were charged with 10,000 volts of electricity. 

Almost Done! 

 One of the rules of being a Tough Mudder is you can't smile

Donating his shoes- hallelujah those disgusting things didn't come back to my house 

 My favorite Mudders

Afterward we relaxed by the lake - our little beach baby was in heaven
