It's officially less than a week away. Eeks! And our team is in the middle of final preparations - Our hard training is essentially behind us as we now taper off and our mind turns to the logistics or what we need and how we'll go about the day.
And by the look of the stats on this site, lots of other people are doing the same as there's been a completely explosion in people visiting this site searching for 'tough mudder gloves melbourne'... So, welcome!
My personal inventory is pretty simple:
- Clothes - all quick-dry and tight-ish fitting, with a double short-layer consisting of compression shorts and outer shorts with zip-pockets.
- Gloves - The previously mentioned Mad-Grip gloves.
- Head - Possibly wearing a Halo bandana to keep my hair out of my face, but then I'm aware I could most likely lose this in many of the water obstacles so am inclined to forget about it.
- Shoes - I know they say any shoes you wear will be ruined, but I bought my new Asics Gel Trabuco's for a reason, so I'll be wearing them and to hell with the consequences.
- Water - The Tough Mudder participant pack did suggest bringing a hydration pack, but we probably won't be bothering. The weather for sunday is looking mild (25c) so we can probably do without it.
- Food - Went out and bought a pack of GU gels yesterday, so that's sorted. Strangely, the chocolate was $6 cheaper. Hmm... Maybe a bit harder to swallow?
- Medical - New ventolin purchased and ready to go (probably plan to carry 2 if I can manage it just in case I lose one).
The only thing I still want to sort out is whether there are any socks more appropriate for water and mud than the basic cotton ones I'm wearing, so I'll do that research this week.... Otherwise we're pretty much ready to go.
