A slippery quarter tube that participants had to climb. The rule was after you made it you stayed to help others. Some people actually made it on their own. One guy who was helping fell back down--hard.
My nephew organized a team to compete in Tough Mudder Arizona 2013 and of course the family had to be there to cheer them on.

Mud Run 2009
Read Here:
We were so excited to get to the hotel so we could settle in and have a nice dinner at the Flying Bridge, the hotel restaurant. It has always been a treat in the past. Live jazz, great seafood, dancing....
I knew we weren't in Kansas anymore when we walked in and the place was empty except for a older couple. Well, maybe it was just early.
Then I ordered a Red Zinfandel. The waiter didn't think they had that sort of wine. Hmmm. They had a full bar before....
Then we overheard him tell the older couple that the place had been sold last year and it was supposed to be bulldozed for a Hyatt. But that plan has been delayed 5 years due to the economy. So, a nice lady from LA who is half Jordanian, half Lebanese is leasing the place in the meantime.
That explained the Mediterrainian Cuisine.
Our waitress was adorable and bubbly and after the third time we had to point to the menu item, she explained it was her first day. No worries! We'll help you!
The food actually was quite tasty. Homemade hummus and kababs. It was the healthiest pre-race meal, fer sure! And it was all enjoyed to the competing sounds of Soft Rock: John Denver's Rocky Mountain High and the like AND thumping Hip Hop and Disco tunes from the Banquet Room underneath. Occasionally, the heavy, thumping beat coordinated with the softer sounds creating interesting mashups. Like SuperFreak and Norwegian Wood.
Marlon and James arrived about 90 minutes later, as they had to work all day. We were anxious to see their face as they walked into a very different scene than what we all had expected.
As they arrived, the music changed to a blaring Middle Eastern Traditional Mix, sounding as if it was being played on a circa 1982 Sony Boom Box. We thought maybe they were trying to add some cultural ambience. And that's when the Belly Dancer came in. She danced to all three occupied tables. I very soon recognized her as the woman who had been sitting across from us telling her life story for the past hour to a couple who sat silently. I think she might be that nice lady from LA. Yup - she's gotta be the owner. That's how she got the gig, we think.
I pulled out a dollar bill but since I was at the back of the booth, I passed it over to Marlon. As she danced over to him she said with a sly grin, "You are de lucky one!" Lucky indeed. Marlon later spotted a triangular piece of sequined cloth that had fallen off her costume. No one dared pick it up as we just don't know where it came from.
As the dollar bills started to fall out of her skirt, the woman at the far end of the restaurant claimed, "I'll hold them for her. I'm her student, so it's ok." Wow. She teaches too. A real renaissance lady!
As she danced by again to our table, she looked at Dale, who is horrified, and said, "Don't be afraid!" Which of course made Dale (and all of us) more afraid. The next time she danced by...you know what is going to happen next, don't you? She plucked Dale out of the booth and made him shimmy next to her. I think the only way Dale survived such torture was by the fact that it was only witnessed by us and 4 other strangers who were most likely near-sighted.
I admit I was in such shock for most of the evening that I didn't take ONE photo of anything I just described.
So, you'll just have to believe me.
