ToughMudder Berlin 2017

 Where no gain, there is no pain!
At the last ToughMudder we decided to run a second round. It was hard but fun! And we wanted more! We wanted to expand the adventure. A weekend - not only a day!

This time we wanted to camp at the event. We planed to be there from Friday til Sunday. And we wanted to kill each other with sport.

If you once started with sports, if you're once infected, there is only one direction: Forward to more!

You start with one race per year. But already in the next year you want one race per month. Now we are here: We booked two tickets: One for Saturday and one for Sunday! And we planned to run two laps on Saturday and a third on Sunday.

We thought we arrived in the OCR-family. Not yet! Not yet, if you only run! You need to be there for the evening camping-party! Until then, it is like a distant relative. You know how he look, but you don’t know who he feels.

But like in all families, some relatives don’t know an end. We get to know much nice people. First we talked much about the current event and events we took part. But it became more personal. I’ve got some good friends out of such OCR weekends!

But if you know you want to go to the start line the next day and if you want to do a good race you have to sleep several hours. And then there are the not so popular, maybe drunken but definitely much to loud relatives, which doesn’t care on your plans. It’s an adventure!

We did it and we did it good. Without enough sleep we started on Sunday for our third lap. Even in the summer it took awhile to motivate yourself. It’s dark and foggy outside and everything is wet because of the morning dew. The only thing is: you know you are wet but you also know you will be much more wet and dirty of mud in an hour. So there is no reason to cry.

Don’t cry - run!
