Even with race day still over 7 weeks away, some members of the team have already begun pondering what the next adventure will be. And some of our audience has started to think that maybe they’d like to jump in for the next one. So like any responsible Tough Mudder blog, we want to help encourage you to take one on.
The first event on the horizon is Cleveland Marathon weekend, May 19th and 20th. Some of you just dropped your coffee. Trust me, it's not as bad as it sounds. With races ranging from a 5k all the way up to the 26.2 mile monster, there's a challenge suited for just about everyone. Atwell Arsenal team members, if you've ever thought about running a half-marathon this would be a great reason to continue your training after the Tough Mudder and the epic celebratory feast/beer binge .
The next race on our radar is trying out a Warrior Dash. For those unacquainted, a Warrior Dash is like the Tough Mudder’s shorter, Viking-themed, little brother. More specifically it’s a 5k mud run through a dozen or so obstacles. This summer there are two chances to take it on. The first is June 2nd and 3rd about an hour southeast of Columbus. The other option is August 25th at a site halfway between Massillon and Akron, aka right in our backyard. For more info, hit their site: http://warriordash.com Please let me know if you’re thinking of signing up for either or both, and we can start hyping that branch of the Atwell Arsenal as well.
Others are thinking “Screw this road racing and short course events. If these guys can train up and do a Tough Mudder, why can’t I?”
Well you are in luck. In the distant autumn, in far away Maryland, members of the Atwell Arsenal are already after a second helping of the glory to be consumed down in the quarries. On September 8th and 9th Tough Mudder is holding a race in Frederick, Maryland . For those of you without a calendar, that's over 6 months away. You can train to do ANYTHING in 6 months. The best part is Maryland in September will almost certainly be warmer than Ohio in April. Consider that another perk. And lastly, there will be a whole team of us with Tough Mudder tips and wisdom to bestow upon the masses. You'd be stupid NOT to do it!
While discussing the prospect of attacking Maryland next, Tim Russell cited the Tough Mudder tattoo policy of “Tattoos of our logo for anyone tough enough to want one will be available for $70. Send your receipt to info@toughmudder.com and we’ll give you a free entry to a Tough Mudder of your choice in 2012. Customize it by having the event date and location put on–keep adding as you go to record all your epic Mudder adventures”, and wondered aloud if anyone else was thinking of getting inked up.
Erick quickly quipped. “Can it be temporary? Can it be a dolphin?”
After an awkward moment, the team politely requested that Erick sit the next couple of plays out.
Awkwardness and dolphins aside, please consider this post as the official announcement:
In September the Atwell Arsenal will be taking this circus on the road, to Crumland Farm in Frederick MD to take on the Maryland Tough Mudder, and we’d love to have you on the team. Apologies in advance to the entire state of Maryland.
