I'll be doing Tough Mudder this Saturday. If I don't log back in by Monday, I'm in the hospital. =)
Anyone else do crazy and or fun activities? |
Yes, we gamers are fit

Other than Mountain Biking I have been pretty lazy lately :( Although I plan on going skydiving soon which falls under the "crazy activities" section.
Oh and that Tough Muddger looks freaking awesome. |

The race was awesome! If you get a chance to do the Tough Mudder, do it! Hope to see you at one next year.
This was probably my favorite obstacle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zawSX4OmCFs. |

LOL! I would get completely destroyed by that. I can't even handle a 10-12 mile run!
@Khan Where are you located? Was this in America? |

I'm in California. Yeah, this race was in Patterson, CA but they have them all over. Personally, I can't run 3 miles (I hate cardio and usually train for powerlifting). There's a lot of walking and "jogging" and, of course, obstacles to interrupt your journey.

Holy shit dude! I'm in Silicon Valley myself! LOL, I did not know where Patterson was, but I just looked it up and it's just east of San Jo, just... through a lot of desert XD.
But yeah, I can't handle that... it's a little too hardcore for me. BUT I can run 3 miles in under 20 minutes :D! |

Cool. I work in Oakland 3 days out of the week and telecommute the other 2.
3 miles in under 20 minutes? Yeesh. Thats probably my walking time. |

I live near Sunnyvale/Mountain View. Small world!
I'm guessing you meant your walking time is 3 MPH. Walking 3 miles in 20 minutes would be like, ultra powerwalking, which, from what I've heard, is actually tougher than running. |

I live in N.Y. and am travelling to San Francisco this Saturday for the Buffalo vs. San Francisco game this Sunday...
This in no way relates to how fit i am. I am, however in shape. Round is definately a shape, is it not? |

I have come to the realization that this will likely happen but it's more for the experience. Never been to San Fran before and hear its a cool town. |

I love this town. Almost as much as NY...If hadn't been recruited to move here, I would have gone to NY.
How long are you staying? |

Not to long all actually. Really just about 2 full days. Tickets to the game, airfare and hotel all for under 1k...my wife is an online shopping expert fo' sho'. |

For one of my jobs I'm actually a personal trainer, so I manage to stay pretty active. I like to focus on gymnastic based exercises for upper body and mostly Olympic lifts and front squats for lower body.
I used to train Brazilian jiu-jitsu and MMA but it's been a while since I was able to do so consistently. |

I loves me some cleans, deadlifts, and overhead pressing. Unlike most Americans, I don't consider a big bench a sign of overall strength and power.

I mountain bike some, and am a pretty avid backpacker and rock climber.

I do a lot of road biking and running/races during the warmer months. I would enter some triathlons but though I am a good swimmer, I have a huge fear of the water, so that is a no go.

I mountain biked ages ago when Missy Giove and Team Cannondale were the rage. I can't swim if my life depended on it even though I was raised in Hawaii and engaged in the various watersports.
