The Tough Mudder was run last weekend in West Virginia. We had a few athletes here complete the race, GREAT job athletes! Not to undermine their accomplishment, but their was also a terrible tragedy during the race. During one of the water obstaclaes a young man jumped in and drowned during the race. A few of the members at CFH have a close tie to the this individual. I figured educating the community on what happened would be the best thing to do. John P send over a very well written article that goes into detail about the events that occurred. The Unaccounted for Variables: Where Tough Mudder Failed
Strength WOD
Front Squats
5/4/3/2/2/2
(All your sets should be heavy, increase your weight as you go to find your max 2 rep front squat. It is often said that your 2 rep max front squat should be = to your 1 rep max squat clean. This depends on technique, form and pulling power, but is a decent gauge)
WOD
10 Deadlifts (95#/65#)
12 Front Rack Lunges (95#/65#)
14 Sit ups
12 Min AMRAP
