I did my first one on the 5th I was supposed to do the 5k, but the group I was with was so good to run with I ended up not paying attention to the signs and did the 10 mile. I was like wtf but it was an amazing experience and I'll gladly be doing the next 10 mile next year!
Outstanding! Glad the 10 mile version was a great experience, and hope to see you out on the course next year!
@@OCRKings definitely be looking forward to seeing y'all out there!
Such an awesome video! Inspiring and makes me interested in actually doing a tough mudder!
You should!
Great video! And as always, you guys make these races fun! Also, loved hearing the referee telling Mack “…that’s it! Lead with your crotch!” Not necessarily words to live by (especially when conquering obstacles involving high voltage) but memorable nonetheless….
Ha ha ha ha!!! That was hilarious. That guy was cool. Glad I changed up the approach tho, I got shocked a whole bunch, and getting zapped below the belt in the front there would have sucked big time! That was a fun time out there, a good way to start our season and to get back to live events.
Our first race footage video of 2021, and the first from a live event in over a year! Good to be back!!
Hi
So glad to see everyone out there showing off their gorgeous faces on race day. Also laughed at Mack’s “sexy” walk at the end 😆
Ha, thanks!! I thought better of it and stopped the limbo style approach. Glad I did because I got shocked at least 4 times and the one on my rear end left a bruise. Had I gotten zapped up front there, that would not have been good!
@@OCRKings Ouch 🤕
No Everest? I thought that electro shock and Everest were the quintessential Tough Mudder obstacles. Looked like fun nonetheless!
Don't know why they didn't have Everest. That is a staple of Tough Mudder. Not sure if was an insurance thing or maybe fall over from covid restrictions maybe? Not sure, but it was weird not having it there. It was a good time overall tho!
That was motivating!!! Thanks for sharing. I have two Tough Mudders this season! Can’t wait!
Excellent, good luck at your Tough Mudders my friend! Be safe and enjoy!
“That’s what happens when you get too sexy!” 🤣
Amazing video and awesome kick-off to what will undoubtedly be an incredible race season! Keep the content coming OCRKings, you guys are the BEST!!
HA, YES! That part was funny, until I got zapped a couple of times. Had to leave the audio in, too funny not to. Thank you!!
Glad to see you guys back at it. This looks like pure fun
Thanks! And yes it was :-)
Thanks for sharing. Good to see you back again.
Thank you, and thanks for watching!!
Well done gents! Good to see you guys back on the course!
Thank you, and yes, us too! Good to be back!
These don't seem as hard as Spartan Rcaes but do seem fun!
Totally agree on both. TM is not as hard as Spartan, but definitely fun!
This course was my first tough mudder and it was a lot of fun with a big group, can’t wait for next tough mudder 😁
Excellent! hope to see you out there, if not have a great run at your next Tough Mudder, be safe, and enjoy!
Why with the metal...but it was great to see race footage again :)
:-)
Do they still give you a beer at the end?
They do have a finisher drink, but I think it depends on who they have a partnership with at that venue. Spartan had hard seltzers... not really a fan. We brought our own cooler for post race celebratory beer at the car!
Just did my first Tough Mudder (I only did a 5K cause i',m a wimp). It was the one in New Jersey. One difference from the one you filmed - on my course we had a LOT of mud. VERY, VERY thick and sticky mud, my shoes almost got pulled off several times, and at one point I barely managed to extract my leg. The thicker mud would stick, and the thinner or more watered down mud was crazy slippery. Made all the mud obstacles very hard.
Wow that sounds like crazy mud! We didn't have anything quite like that on the course in this video. Nice job making it through that, and congrats on doing your first Tough Mudder!!
I'm doing my first tough mudder in the poconos this Saturday. I'm really nervous. I have no upper body strength at all! I can do 10 miles in mud, but some of the obstacles scare me!
Good luck tomorrow! You are going to do great, be safe and have fun!
Doesn't look like many people running. It always seems to be really crowded when I run. Keep on moving ‼️💪👍🏃
We went out in the earliest wave, so there were no people in front of us from earlier waves. That's the nice thing about going out first, no crowds.
Finished rugged maniac last Saturday and now tough mudder this Saturday!! Is it worth dealing with the electric eel with the water puddles ?
If you don't feel comfortable doing that one, skip it! There are no penalties (usually). If you're not feeling it, go around! It's best to have fun at Tough Mudder, so do what works for you. If you do try it, my advice would be to keep your legs together, not like me in this video. I had my feet spread way apart, and almost touched one of the wires. If you keep your legs together, you should be able to fight right in the void between the wires. Stay low and take your time if you do it. Either way, good luck at your race and have a great time out there!
@@OCRKings awesomesauce appreciate the tip!
Great to see you both back at it! Enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it Thank you for watching!
How is the electric eel? I’ve a massive anxiety of getting electric shock - that I avoid traffic lights and lifts as I always get shocked 😒
There is a method to beat the electric eel. Pick a lane and stay in between the wires - not under them. If you can find a lane that is dry (has no water), even better. Keep you arms in close and don't spread your feet apart. Most people get shocked in the legs because there legs and feet are spread wide apart. If you do get shocked, it's not too bad. It's not like the electric chair or anything, you'll be fine!
Doing my first tough mudder and it’s a 10.5 mile .. gosh I’m excited and nervous too. Worried I won’t be able to carry the log, go over the wall thingy and or monkey bars.
No worries, you are going to do great! They may or may not have the log carry at your event, and any obstacle you can't do, it's no problem, there are no penalties. Just try your best and have a good time! At the wall, there should be plenty of people to help you if you need it. Tough Mudder is built on camaraderie, so you can count on fellow runners to lend a hand. Hope you have a great run - Mack & Damer
4:23 was that blood? 😮
Not sure why, but Tough Mudder was having fun with food coloring in the water obstacles. The green water at Funky Monkey @12:26 looked like slime.
In germany we want this too. But our government ist a piece of sh...
Sorry to hear that!
Can women do the 10 mile?
Absolutely, yes
I was thinking about having my high school soccer team doing this for team building, do you think this would be a good team building activity?
Excellent idea! Tough Mudder is great for team building. Teamwork and camaraderie are what Tough Mudder sells itself on. It might be a good idea to consider the 5k version toughmudder.com/tough-mudder-5k/. These have 13 obstacles, many of which it takes two or more people working together to complete. Hope this helps! If you and the team participate in one, let us know how you do. And make sure the team or groups of team members cross the finish line together!
My sister is going to be in this
Excellent! Hope she has a good race!
Doing my first Tough Mudder Classic in August in the UK! This video just got me super excited to do it. Any clothing / footwear tips?
Excellent! Good luck at your race, be safe, and have fun! As far as shoes, those are tough. Our feet are so different and finding the perfect shoe can be hard. Right now Damer and I are running in the OCR Speed shoes from Spartan. Good grip, great drainage. They are available here: www.spartan.com/products/mens-ocr-speed-shoe?dt_id=14673. Other than that, some running favs are Inov-8, and many love Altra as well.
Curious, was it required to roll under the barbed wire? Or do people crawl and/or roll through that obstacle?
Great question! The answer is no, you are absolutely not required to roll under the wire. It just turns out that it is easier and faster to do so however. When rolling, though, make sure to change directions every 3-4 rolls so that you don't get insanely dizzy.
Trevor Wallace brought me here.
Interesting - how did that happen? He has a ton of subscribers and views!!
@@OCRKings check out Trevor Wallace tough mudders
I did - that video is hilarious! At times, it's pretty accurate too 😂
I’m gonna die if I do this, thanks for teaching me what a tough mudder is.
You would be fine! No worries, it's fun!
Going tomorrow for my first race I’m excited thanks for the video
Good luck at your first race! Be safe and have a great time!
Nice video, thank you for making and uploading
Thank you!!
awesome job!
Thank you! Cheers!
With this obstacles that includes more water. Do you recommend a shoes that is made to be used alot in water than trail running shoes?
We would recommend shoes that have good drainage. The water is going to get in, no matter what, and having shoes that don't drain will get very heavy on your feet. Shoes with drainage holes will let the water out, and will continue to drain as you run. Hope this helps!
@@OCRKings thanks! I've been eyeing to the merrell rapid and nordic fastknit mid. Which one do you think is better.
@@CavenInToTheWorld Good question! We'll have to check out both
@@OCRKings thanks! Will be waiting for the review thanks
Jeez...that mud mile was shallow!
Yes very true, at this race, the mud mile was very shallow!
Doing my fourth Mudder this weekend and hoooo boy, not looking forward to Electric Eel. It'll be my first time with that obstacle!
Hope you had a great race!!
@@OCRKings Thanks! It was cool, new venue. I'm not sure what happened, but they didn't have two obstacles (including Eel) that the map included. One less thing to worry about!
I’m entering my first on April
Excellent! Have a great race, be safe and enjoy!
Nice video this looks like a blast!
Thank you! And yes this race was super fun!
any prize for top places?
For the typical 5k, 10k, and 15k, no. For the endurance event World's Toughest Mudder, the top 3 male and top 3 female finishers get prize money: toughmudder.com/events/worlds-toughest-mudder/
how long did this race take?
About 2.5 hours. Terrain was very flat, but it was crazy hot that day.
So which one is this one!? Is this the 5 mile one ? Or which one
This was what was considered the "classic" which is now the 15k (9+ miles).
@@OCRKings is this really 9 plus miles ?
Yes, the course in this video was 10.5 miles long check out the 0:28 mark. This is exactly according to the mileage on our Garmin Instinct watches.
whoa! whoa! whoa! "arctic ENEMA"?!?!?! at 8:48... yeah, I'm skipping that one x )
This one had all melted ice and was actually refreshing, but there have been a few tough mudder events where it was damn cold. Good news is you get in and out before your body has time to freak so its not bad.
THATS ALL YOU HAD TO DO FOR THE MUD MILE?????? Our pits were at least 7.5/8 ft deep haha it was a complete bitch
Yes, that was a short one. In years gone by, the mud mile was a deep and long set of pits that seemed to go on forever. They might not have been able to dig as much at this location.
The biggest obstacle of al is getting a response out of Tough Mudder customer support, which is poorly named because it fails to support paying customers so regularly. Absolute joke of a company. Waste of money. TWO MONTHS later and still being fobbed off with "we've had an unprecedented volume of calls" - hardly surprising the way you treat your customers!
Yikes! Sorry to hear that!
Last one of these I did was 2017 and these obstacles look pretty soft compared to what I suffered through.
Yes, thinks have changed over the years. The first one we did in 2012 was down right dangerous at times.
I got a Tough Mudder shirt when I was about 10. I had no idea what it was. Hopefully I can one day finally do one
Excellent go for it!
Do you have to be in a group? How do you train for this? I know thez trainer options on the website but is it virtual training, tips or in person training . I really want to do this
You certainly don't have to be in a group - even though these events are always more fun with friends. Some obstacles might require help from other racers, but everyone is always very cool. Anyone can do a tough mudder. Training or not. You go at your own pace and try every obstacle. You fail, move on and try the next one. We like trail hikes and runs and you can do them today! Gets you outside and moving, feels great, and is the first step. You can do it!
you have to train very hard so you can win Tough Mudder
No doubt. You need to be a true top athlete to podium at any one of these races. The competition is always pretty fierce in the competitive waves. Each race brand (TM, Spartan, RM, Savage, etc) brings its own set of challenges as does the venue location itself.
Next year... Next year, my brothers, my dad and I are doing 5k or 10 mile. Got a lot of training to do, but can promise our best!
Awesome! Are you going for Tough Mudder @ New Hampshire or another location? Wherever it is, have fun!
@@OCRKings I think I'm going in Minnesota, but thanks! My brothers and I are going 5k while dad is going the full 10 miles
I’m going to do my first tonight mudder next your and I will be 14 any reconditions on how to train for it please and thanks
Tough mudders are just fun. You are guaranteed to have a great time! You have youth on your side and you can run as fast as you are comfortable with. I recommend trail running when you can. It gets your shoes muddy and gets you using all sorts of leg/ankle/foot muscles keeping you in balance. It's also no where near as boring as running around a track!
Obstacles are the fun part. Most are pretty easy. Watch a few people do them successfully to get ideas on how to approach them. A few require decent upper body strength that pullups and pushups can really help with.
Some obstacles have penalties for failing them and some don't. No biggie if you do fail. Give them all a try and if you fail, just move on and crush the next one!
Best of luck! These races are so much fun and great motivation. So glad to hear you are joining the Mudder Nation!
@@OCRKings thanks you so much for that and I will try my best 😊😊
This doesn't seem like it'll be too fun for a first time runner doing a solo run.. I'm supposed to go to Pittsburgh next weekend by myself but there are so many obstacles reliant on teamwork & I'm not in the best of shape either.. starting to think maybe to just cancel till I get in better shape =-/
Whoa... hold, on there... I think you can totally do this. Solo or not. Better with friends, but there are plenty of races where it was just Mack or myself and they are still fun AF.
Even being a new runner. No problem! Walk when you need to, jog when you can, and run when the elevation dips downhill and you can use that downhill advantage.
Tough Mudder has moved away from the real team type obstacles due to covid (Pyramid for example) and everyone works together nicely at the blockness monster obstacle where many people are necessary to spin the obstacle.
I think you should do this one... and signup for another race. Set the bar next weekend, then come back in better shape and crush your time.
Please post if you go. Would love to hear how it turned out and what you think.
@@OCRKings Yeah you're right! I'm running the New England Rugged Maniac on Saturday but it seems WAY easier than Tough Mudder & it's only a 5k.. I already paid for the Pittsburgh race so I might as well.. I'll definitely post afterwards & give my experience. Thanks for the motivation!
@@OCRKings I ran it.. honestly it wasn't as fun as I wanted it to be. First like 4 miles was fun.. but then just the mental strain of being by yourself whilst also being surrounded by families & groups of friends.. just didn't feel as fun without someone to share the experience with. Probably won't do a 10 mile alone again, doesn't seem worth it =-/ especially when you get to an obstacle that a lot of people fall on then laugh about it with their group.. then you go & it's just silent -_____- ... LoL as I said this just doesn't seem a fun race to be alone on
Sorry to hear that your race wasn't as fun as you had wished. That stinks. I hope next time you get to run with friends and have a better experience!
You made this look so fun! Uplifting and upbeat. Now I want to do one!
Thanks! And you totally should, it was a great time!
I am planning on doing one of these next year
You should, it's a great time!
Do one this year. Plan on it and make it happen. Just commit. It's worth it
