Anyone going to Tahoe this weekend?

Insane and crazy event. I'm going to be doing the Saturday 9/17/11 event. 11 mile hike through Squaw Valley with 20+ obstacles! Wish me luck!

I've done a couple half marathons, some 5K and 10K runs, but this is extreme. I just hope I come back in one piece an am one of the 78% people who finish it. 
From their website:
Probably the toughest event on the planet
Tough Mudder is not your average lame-ass mud run or spirit-crushing ‘endurance’ road race. Our 10-12 mile obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. Forget finish times. Simply completing a Tough Mudder is a badge of honor. Tough Mudder has raised over one million dollars for the Wounded Warrior Project.
WARNING: Tough Mudder is 3-4 times longer and MUCH TOUGHER than a typical mud run such as Warrior Dash. On average, only 78% of participants finish the event. Only those in reasonably strong physical condition should enter. See our Training Page for training requirements and read the History of Tough Mudder to learn more about Tough Mudder’s origins and philosophy.

I guess I WAS crazy when I signed up for it a couple of months ago. I even got my brother and 7 other friends to go thru the pain with me. money raise for this event wil benefit the Wounded Warrior Project charity. I've been trying to train for it via various boot camps and doing P90X on my own hope it pays off, and I am in no way super fit. I just hope I can complete it.
