yesterday i entered the burgen tough guy challenge which was held at woodhill sands event centre in woodhill auckland.

the tough guy challenge is an off road running race/event held anually that was set up 10 years ago in rotorua and has grown and become hugely popular in the ten years its been running. it now runs in auckland, wellington, palmerston north as well as rotorua.

i entered on the day and it cost me $70 which i felt was worth it and at that cost it tends to keep the class of people high and the shitbags out which is nice. there was a 6km race (1 lap) and a 12km (2 laps) it was run on saturday and sunday being 2 separate races to cater for the amount of people who would enter. i did the 6km sunday race (harder as all the groud had been turned up and fucked by the saturday people.)

i was getting changed, duct taping my shoes on and fucking around with the group i was doing it with at our cars and we lost track of time so we go to the start line later than we would have liked and it was packed near 1200 people lining up for the 6km which started at 11.15am (the 12km started at 11am) we got stuck at the back and would been a shit fight to try push to the front as the start line was really narrow... so the gun went off and didnt move for about 2 minutes lol then walking pace for about 5mins... really wish i had of got to the front my dream of winning it was getting shattered and i was getting mad lol... the course was poor design imo at the start... it really needed to be started in a huge paddock with 400-800m straight run to the first corner this way the fast people can break away from the fat slow ones and then that should theoriotically set the pace and placings for the race. so get the the first corner everyone ques up to go under this gay little tree which is the first obstacle then there was a big bank which dropped into water of about nipple height... everyone was just freezing before the water too scared to jump in so we just wanted to get in and get out of the crowd so pushed some ppl in and made our way through after that the pack started to spread out with about 500m of thick mud waist high... to follow there were hill climbs, banks which had become mud slides and barbwire shit to crawl under, a frame obstacles, ten feet high vertical walls to climb over, wire rope crossings, swamps and a really long trench full of muddy water to go through before the finish. was awesome fun i just didnt like the start and i found the obstacles too small as in didnt cater for the numbers of ppl as at each one it just bottlenecked up with ppl waiting for other ppl. next time id just start at the front though to stop that.

am entering one of the rotorua ones which run on 3 weekends over august to redeem my efforts.

anyone else participate or done one before?

p.s muddy girls with wet tight pants are sexy as fuuuarrrrr.... IN after new fetish lol jk

wait, you pay $70 to run around in mud? what do you get out of it besides running around in mud, any awesome as prize? 1200 people $70 each (just on one of the days!), where does that $84,000 go??? charity or smart scheme to sucker in the scat mud fetish folk? :shock:

so your one of those people are you... People pay $50+ to run marathons o. Public roads, what's your fucken point?

Shit takes organising and planning, it was a good event I didn't mind paying $70. People have got to make a buck else nothing decent would ever get put on... Charity f*ck that not all huge amounts of money should go to charity... People are allowed to make big money.

I paid $70... After I hand over the cash I stop giving a shit... I'm not paying them $84k... I'd your gonna think like that then why are you buying protein powder think of all the money that's making someone.

The profit of the event is not my bussiness, enjoying it is though and that's what I did.

I paid $70 and threw a $100 pair of shoes out afterwards and it lasted 42mins.

How much you pay for a bodybuilding show including all prep? And how many mins that go for...

Think iv made my point lol.

was really just wondering....was thinking it might be some charity cause or whatever because i don't' see it as 'something desirable' that thousands of people would go out and pay money to do.. guess i just don't understand what all the fuss is about, the story just made it sound like it was a tour through a pig farm. another lesson learned on one mans trash being anothers treasure. anyway that's all, just wanted to try find out what the deal with it was. you're reading far too much into it if you're thinking i'm having a dig at people who like to make a buck (shit, i worked in appliance retail for several years during study, i'm probably more slimy than the guys who run this show).

not my slice of mudcake anyhow, good luck with your future tomfoolery in tight pants!

[edit]

Should'a just put this video man! Looks a lot better than it sounds in the description, I was srsly picturing running through some pigfarm when I read that.

I got a Lifeproof case for my iPhone 4. Now waterproof to 2 meters and mud/snow proof. This would be sweet.

But need a hands free option :?

What sort of cycle did you run in the build up for it?

massive amounts of hgh, slin, clen and 1g test suspension ed lol u mad

what cycle did you run for the comp you never did?

Was a serious question Tom, you were gassing when you did crossfit. I was wondering how it affects lactic acid build up etc etc etc etc

I took about 250mgs of test and some boldenone while prepping for the show I didn't do last year. Taking about double that this year. Actually a bit more test. Pretty lucky though, still no gyno.

ok sorry thought you were being a smartarse. my bad.

i run 600mg of eq and 200mg of pharm grade test cyp per fortnight at moment. i just do my shots every 2nd monday.

lower back pump and calve pumps and also pain around shin area when i first started... i read alot and lotsa ppl blame gear but its really more to do with stretching in my opinion... i stretch my calves, hams, quads and glutes fucken heaps now doing multiple stretches for each muscle and i can run hard now for long periods of time rfor as long as my lungs let me where as before it was my muscles.

im only doing 2 weight sessions per week at the moment both are full body workouts and i run 3 times per week... too busy with work and other shit at the moment.

u look awesome in those pics, i didnt know u had competed recently... i love a physique with good shape rather than blocky bulky ones... u have mean shape and proportions and still same mass as rest...

Inspiration

Old pic bro, from last time I competed. I am dieting again this year to do a show. Bit bigger now and on track for same conditioning.

OK man just asking cos I get pumped calves walking on the treadmill let alone running my ass off. Probably tightness and lack of conditioning.
