Another Rugged Year
Posted on May 4, 2011
September 24, 2011 is the target date. This is the scheduled date for the Rugged Maniac obstacle course race in Southwick, MA. I participated last year and really enjoyed it. The biggest difference from last year is now I have a time to beat. I finished the course in 38 minutes. Compared to other racers it is a below average time, but that is OK, I am a below average runner. I knew this last year and wanted to kick myself for not training enough with running.
I did build a makeshift obstacle course in my yard.
It included:
- A seven-foot wall
- Two hurdles
- A crawl under
- A tire run through
So this year I am adding a running regiment, and yesterday was my first day. I jogged two miles and I survived. I hope to add at least three more before the big day. Are there any runners out there who want to offer some advice, I could use it. Or if you are training for the Rugged Maniac event, tell me what you are doing.
