Tough Guy Challenge

Anybody here done this?

If so, any thoughts? Was wondering how it compares to a regular marathon?

My boss did this last year, and is doing it again this year.
I've seen the photos from last year, and unless you're really fit then I wouldn't bother.
It seemed to me to be more like an endurance event than a marathon.

Did something similar 20 years ago (lot less organised so pretty rough and ready).

Cross country run. Half a mile down a road running knee deep in (january) freezing water. Few nasty barriers to scale. Swim a pond (entry and exit via extremely muddy banks) or walk round the edge in knee deep mud (swimming was easier). Sprint to finish. Only water available was a bath made from bales of hay and a tarp. Filled with filthy water.

Loved it

Tell that to the kids of today and they won't believe you.
