I am not doing this, however.

Unnecessary is the entire point of the Tough Guy competition, a semi-annual 8-mile race through mud, manure, water, fire, more mud, barbed wire, nets, electrical charges, still more mud, smoke grenades, sewer pipes, ice, even more mud, ropes, cables, tires — did I mention mud? — on a horse farm in England's West Midlands.

Muahahaha, my evil plan is working.

Was the evil plan "lure dilletante and moominmolly into doing something completely unreasonable and pointless and silly and hard"? 'Cause I hate to break it to you, but that's an easy sell. :)

Something like that, but I think it was more like "Good god, I have to find out what that's like. Who can I convince to do it so I can ask them about it? Oh! Right!"

I did three miles, carrying a metal canoe (80 lbs) with my partner carrying both our backpacks (est 50 lbs each), by moonlight, 2 mi on dirt road, remaining 1 mi on dirt path through woods. Without dinner.

This looks a lot funner. The fire's to warm you up, right?

The fact that you're posting it makes me think you will end up doing it. I don't know why.

maybe the summer one? Hypothermia is just not inviting enough to me.

Have you looked into either mountainboarding or off-road unicycling? They'd be a good warmup.

Hey! If you do it, maybe we can cheer you on!

And yes, these people are nuts. Crackers. Cheerfully so.

I will be there to greet you at the finish!
