A little insight to a weekend in the life of Bev at Recovery After Rehab. We did it!! Team ColTurs did the Tough Mudder on the weekend in Copley WA. Entering the competition we had a couple of team members with on going hip/pelvis stabilizer injuries and knee issues, to the point where one of us only got cleared to continue 2 weeks before the big event! Injury fatigue setting in for some on about km number 6, right around where the ice bath hit us! We couldnt get out of it quick enough to the point where our bodies felt so numb and fellow mudders had to push us out as shorties like myself couldnt quite reach the top through all the ice. We soldiered on one step at a time setting a gentle jog pace to gain momentum as for some the mind was starting to doubt what the body was actually capable of. We went up hill, down hill, under logs, over logs, carried logs! Swam under barrels, climbed monkey bars, walked through waist deep mud, climbed hay bails, leapt over walls, climbed along walls, balanced the beam, ran through electric wire and ran up Everest!! This was an event of endurance, fitness and strength of not only the body but the mind. Of not only a team but of individual barriers, fears and injuries overcome. 20km of mud, water, obstacles and electricity. Our goal was to achieve this in 3.5hrs. We did it in 3hrs8mins. We started together and we finished together as a team. We are now officially Tough Mudders and we have the headband to prove it!
