9:20am to be precise.
That's the start time we received from Tough Mudder HQ yesterday - And as soon as that time was in front of us the nerves started to kick into overdrive. It's all very real now!!
It's a slightly earlier than desired time but we're pleased with it. We also noticed that there are fewer waves on Sunday than Saturday so we're pleased to be there on the 'quieter' day.
We've all read the details and were surprised to see them encouraging hydration packs - Hmm.... I'm wondering if that's a real issue or whether they are just covering their backsides. I'll have to do some research on Saturday and see if it's really necessary - as I'd rather not have it getting in the way.
The other funny thing which stood out was reading the Death Waiver and seeing the line "alcohol consumption following the event is discouraged by Tough Mudder LLC...." ??????????!! How did they get away with that one given that they give everyone a free beer?! And heavily promote that fact!
Nevertheless it's all happening, and we're looking forward to it. Training is getting harder to be motivated around ironically (given it's so close to our 'rest' week and hard to believe that much you do now will make a difference!) but soon enough we'll see whether we've done enough.
