I'm fully expecting to be battered and bruised afterward, but it should be a good time regardless. They actually don't have clocks or timers at the Tough Mudder at all, so the only goal is just to finish. According to the map they released, the course is 16.5 km long and I bet the average team will finish it between 3.5-4 hours.
I've actually been training with some trail running minimus shoes for the past 8 months, putting them through the paces with the plan of using them for tough mudder now. It's at the point now where the shoes still work great, but I'm totally cool with them getting destroyed during the process. I've also got my obnoxiously tight compression shirt ready to go!
