February 3, 2007: Extreme foot race with obstacles
Lag rat could run that in her thong !!!
a gerbil has more exciting weekends that me, but--ye gods!
All I will say is that it looks incredibly stupid, idiotic, and ill-conceived, and I want very badly to take part in it.
strangely, some of those people look like they're having an awful lot of fun

You call that fun :rotflol:
Isn't that bin Laden in the third picture?
I think that Debri link would be not safe for work...... unless the ladies are suppose to show that many lips at once. :unsure:
Babelfish tells me over the top of the pictures it says, "But participant- that they are contented as children. In mud, although, from the soul they were rolled".
It also told me that under the pictures says, "The respected visitor you entered to the site as the unregistered user. We recommend to you to be registered or to enter to the site under our name."
Man I wish I could still do stuff like that!
The name of the race is actually " Escape From The Gulag".The winner recieves a valid passport and a plane ticket to any free ,capitalist country of their choosing!The loosers of course have to go back to the camp,eat gruel ,and sew mittens for the Soviet military.
Reminds me of MXC/Takeshi's Castle.
1. What surprises me most is not that such an event exists, but that there are apparently a great number of people who feel compelled to participate.
2. The dude crawling through the mud under the barbed wire behind Thong Guy is looking away from Thong Guy's ass, as though he had just let one rip.
3. Thong Guy is especially manly, since some of the participants are dressed for cold weather. Does he have "Go Packers" written on him somewhere in yellow and green?
4. Are we pretty sure this isn't an event strictly for Russian asylum residents?
Isn't that bin Laden in the third picture?
bin Laden walks with a cane, but he does have a beard and wears a similar garment on his head, so that must be him pulling himself, without a cane, through the chest deep mud in an effort to win a foot race. Its the new fasting, all the Wahhabis are doing it.
Fourth picture reminds me of a scene from
Come and See.
I am SO not doing that.
EVER.
Kinda' looks like a long day on the ranch...
With fewer clothes.
I think it will give Zippy and I flashbacks to boot camp

WTF?...They told me it was just another wet T-shirt contest!
These are clearly pictures of the effort my Dad had to go thru to get to elementary school every day.
Nope. Not extreme enough. For one thing, it isn't uphill both ways.
Sheesh.
This is the best Iowa has to offer. *tips running hat to much crazier people*

More info;:D
The Tough Guy Race is since 1986 an annually taking place event in Hindernisrennen in the proximity of the city Wolverhampton with Birmingham. Running goes to large property over 12 kilometers on a 150 hectare. There are 21 hard obstacles that must be overcome. The participants must crawl under 50 centimeters to deeply fastened Stacheldraht by the Matsch, by tunnels from a meter extent creep, under a timber bridge through in ice-cold pools dip, on 10 meters height climb, from 3 meters height rope themselves and under a Elektrozaun creep. Finally the participants must run by burning hay bundles.
Running was developed by Billy Wilson. He was in the royal infantryman Guards and sketched Trainingscamps for elite troops.
The participation fees is 70 € Euro which go to different charitable federations.

Good lord, it really is in Britain.
I promise faithfully that if any Dwellars take part in this event you can stay with me, and I'll come and cheer you on.
I might have to go and watch this summer (Tough Guy is the winter event, Nettle Warrior the summer).
Do check out the website (Bruce's post) to see the whole course. Bunch of fruitcakes the lot of them...
Hmmmmm...
Since there is an offer of a place to stay...I'll offer to be the training partner/coach for anyone who wants to try this with me (someday) :D
I worry about the Brits, I really do... after this and the whole Bog Swimming thing.
I mean, we did stuff like this as part of our work, but we got paid for it & bitched the whole time...

I'd do it. One day. When I've got enough strength to hear the Wolverhampton accent again. :lol:
Wolverhampton accent
Can you post a sample ???
Frank Skinner (the one without a beard) isn't from Wolverhampton precisely, but definitely has the accent that Monster is referring to.
I quite like it :)

That's quite a mild version he has going there, though.......
"you come to a lot of shows -are you ashamed of it now?" is probably where it's strongest (about halfway through)
You're right - I've heard him broader and certainly he doesn't have the broadest accent to begin with.
It was just what I had to hand....
Not a bad starter for ten though...?

warning: pain may result from watching this "home video"
Is that supposed to be a Wolverhampton accent? :confused:
allegedly. It's certainly reminiscent of what you hear in the streets, but that could just be the booze and weed talking :lol:
You mean everyone in Wolverhampton sounds like their drunk and stoned? Christ, it must be hard to communicate with them. :whofart:
Of course I was a furriner there too...
