Stefanie Bishop is nothing but amazing. It is not an easy task by any means to win the World's Toughest Mudder event, but this lady did it with grace, honesty and a fire in her belly. I watched her race rather closely this year and saw nothing short of raw emotion when she got to take home the win. Through this interview, I learned more about Stefanie and her true spirit for OCR.
From surviving a road biking accident that left her with many broken bones, to nursing her children while on the course it seems like there is nothing that Allison can’t or won’t do. I have the honor of interviewing her for this piece, as everyone has their “layers”. Allison is a super nice person, but when it comes down to her coaching and training, she is not afraid to push you outside of your comfort zone.
This morning members of Tough Mudder's Mudder Nation rejoiced as they opened their emails this morning to receive last minute early pricing deals on World's Toughest Mudder 2017. Past emails have been sent to participants but this email included the most important and until now secret - the location. According to the email, this morning Tough Mudder is returning to Lake Las Vegas in 2017.
An epic endurance race of incredible distances in harsh conditions, although filmed weeks earlier the rest of America is just getting a glimpse of it now. Unknown to many, this event has been going on for years attracting local participants as well as those from across the globe. This year is different, though. It is the first year televised, but not just by any television channel; a primary network has picked it up for airing.
It turns out that as innovative and cool as they are, the biggest obstacles are rarely the ones on the course, even at an event like the World's Toughest Mudder. Instead, they're the physical and mental obstacles we bring with us. I am proud that I managed to conquer a few of these myself out there in the desert.
World's Toughest Mudder took place in Lake Las Vegas recently. The company debuted some of the new obstacles for 2017 at the event, and Tough Mudder continues to push the envelope on innovative obstacles. Another aspect of the company that Tough Mudder continues to innovate is its coverage.
