So after a couple of days to recovery from the Raw Challenge on the 2nd November I thought it was worth writing up some results on how the day went. Team member Adrian set a goal of “last man standing” in the previous post, the bar was certainly set high!

My (Grant) day started with a 4:00am wake up, feeding animals and enough time to travel. My wife Leslie wasn’t very keen on the early start and made sure she brought a pillow to sleep on the way.

Raw Challenge - Morning

Arriving at the event……. “wow”, very scenic, weather fairly calm, bit of a hazy rain but next to no wind.

Our team members on the day ended just being myself and Adrian. Team member Dave was unfortunately unable to make it to this event. We had a number of friends on the day that did 1 to 2 laps.

The course itself was 8km per lap with 30+ obstacles, with a reasonable amount of running in what was very tough but fun course.

Last man standing results:
Grant – 40km (5 Laps)
Adrian – 32km (4 Laps)
Shane 16km (2 Laps)
Jason 8km (1 Lap)

Our first test on the road to the worlds toughest mudder will be an event called  “RAW challenge” in Redbanks, Tasmania – 2nd November 2013.

Nestled in luscious green valley with an array of dams, natural hurdles and some man-made monister obstacles, the RAW challenge Tasmania will be an experience not to miss.

The course laps are 8km with 30+ obstacles, the aussiemudders will be tackling the unlimited lap component of the challenge to test out limits…..last man standing anyone?
