NorCal Tough Mudder 2012 - Northstar at Tahoe

Last Saturday, the Tough Mudders converged on Northstar-at-Tahoe for a 10-mile mud run!  Some of last year's team members ran again -- my dad, my brother, uncle Mitch, and our friend Dennis.  New this year were several cousins, who came through with flying colors!  (And lots of mud!)


I'll post more on Facebook, but here are some highlights...

 

Almost at the end of the course...my parents were glad to see each other :)

Jason and Chris...haha, they made it look so easy...

 

Ready to help the rest of the team up

Group shot before the final obstacle (just in case we lost a few to the electroshocks!)

 

The final obstacle: Electroshock Therapy.  Of course Chris went through airplane style for maximum shocks.  :P

Last obstacle down!  Muddy and very happy!

 

 

Getting their official orange headbands after crossing the finish line

 

Tough Mudder style: mohawk (well, faux hawk) and the turtleneck headband (prevents sunburn).

Dennis is one of the strongest guys I know...after running ten miles and climbing 20 obstacles, he still had energy for this...

Very proud of all these tough folks!  :)
