Down 50 or so

[dunhill225]

Ok I had a ton of shit go down in my life and needed to do something different. All I've ever cared about is how strong I was (and How big I was). .. well I decided to do a "mud run" just to have something to focus on. Results are 7-8 weeks later and down 45-50 lbs. Yea I lost some muscle but will be gaining most of that back. I am not even on my trt rt now, the wife and I are trying to have a baby so I have been off for a good time now (it has worked, sperm went from ZERO to 55 million per mll) and can't go back on trt intil the "deed is done". Anyway here are some pics from race on saturday and a cpl pics from a few months ago. I was a lill tighter than these befores when I started preparing but not much (maybe 10lbs or so).

Mud run was rt at 4 miles (was supposed to be 5k but they said that it came in rt at 4 cause of the route). Wasn't hard, obstacles were easy, only hard part was there wasn't more than 10 feet of flat ground...my feet and ankles are still hurting BUT my back held up (sore but held up).

Peace

You look so much more bad azz now as a leaner guy. And it's not just due to the mud. You are no doubt healthier too. I'd keep doing what you are doing.

I have done more endurances races than I can even remember. But I never did one of those mud/obstacle course races. And I want too. A few Xterra Triathlons, but they aren't nearly as much fun. I went on gear about 5 years ago and put on close to 50lbs from my race weight. Not good, I can barely run a 5k right now. So good for you.

Good luck with the fatherhood attempt. If it doesn't work out you can have one of mine, do you prefer a girl or a boy?

 

[dunhill225]

Ill take either!!!

Thanks man. Its been a long time since I actually "used gear" but I'm honest enough to say that even trt (at 200mgs a week) gives most 3-8 times what they would naturally produce so its still "supplemented". Its hard holding muscle while dropping without anything, especially at 43...lol, and recovery is NOTHING close to even being on trt but its kinda cool to know it was just all me.
Triathlon man?? Bravo for you...this body will never be able to do that. A 10K next year maybe but that will be it for distance!!

Thanks again man.

the only place im going to run to is the kitchen....I don't know how you guys do it, much less in mud.

 

[dunhill225]

Seeing SOME of the girls that ran covered in mud...was worth it!! Ibran late, I heard that there were a bunch of wild ones there early... having mud wrestling and stuff till they got kicked out.... there were kids there.

Damn man. 11 miles?? Shit that's ALL YOU! LOL. Mine was 4 miles and I THINK I'd like to do a "normal" 10k next year just to say I did one but I don't see me hoing over that!
11 miles is about 15k and there is one that has two options-you can do 5k or 15k at same run. I think that one is the rebel run or something like that and that one is a 2 day event... ya party, drink, eat and they have bands that night- ya camp over and whole next day is a party. Like to do that one.

the longest distance ive run is 4.3 miles. with this the runs are broken up by obstacles so hopefully it wont be too back cause running SUCKS. tough mudder will be a big party too. fortunatly its only about a 15 minute drive from my hunting camp so we are making a weekend out of it. i will camp out friday night, do the tough mudder on saturday, party there and then take the party back to the camp and get shitty.

Hope ya have a blast. I THINK in could do a normal 10k now if I had to but I'd be slow as hell. Next year I'd like to do one and be respectable at it. I do HATE running and this body ain't made for it but its cool to just do something different.
I actually did ZERO actual running to get ready for the mud run cause I started to heavy and my back couldn't have handled it. If I start getting ready at a lower wt I will actually run a lill to get ready.

Again man, have a n last when ya do it. Post some pics ofbthe party!!
