A friend messaged me this morning letting me know that Sunrise (a local morning news show) had a piece on Tough Mudder....
Of course, almost all of the article was lifting straight from youtube videos, so very little 'journalism' had to be done there! And I was quite disappointed (although not surprised) at the half-informed information provided.
What was more amusing was the 'Tough Mudders' in the background doing exercises... hmm... Don't know if you can call them that if they've never done one (It would have made much more sense to have talked with some of the Australians who'd done it in the US), and it makes it sound like it's some fitness trend you can join up to like any old boot camp or aerobics class. In fact, the reference to TM as a 'craze' is what I found the most laughable.
As my M said when she saw it: "How come everything has to be a 'craze'? Can't it just be people wanting to do something??"
Still, it's impressive to hear it's already got 6000 registrants for Melbourne. No wonder booking accommodation was so tough!
