On the 19th May, seven players (Sarah, Kristy, Alysia, Charlie, Aleksandra, Kamila and Petra) from across all three teams, undertook a 10 mile challenge as part of Tough Mudder. The idea of doing a full course Tough Mudder came about after successfully completing the Half Mudder last year. Our Bunnies trained all year not just to be better at Volleyball, but to be able to conquer all 26 obstacles. See the map of the obstacles (orange line): This is a taste of what the girls did in 5 hours on this course. It all started with a little Kiss of Mud, whereby the Bunnies needed to crawl through mud (obviously). After a few obstacles, they were in muddy water turning blocks around in the Blockness Monster obstacle (PERSONAL FAVOURITE), and then after Tight Squeeze they had some distance to run. After some moaning (obviously from Petra) they made it to Overtired.
Artic Enema – this is the obstacle they will not forget. Sliding into ice cold water, a short swim below a wall and jumping out of the water proved to be unforgivable. There were different reactions to this experience from all seven ladies – but one statement was the same; “it was tough.” Kristy however was in a different frame of mind, stating; “I am actually warm after this obstacle.” Mud Mile – not sure there is much to say. It was an obstacle where the Bunnies climbed little hills of mud with help from strangers and teammates. After climbing the hills, walking in the sticky mud proved to be fun (nobody lost a shoe this year). After conquering the Muderhorn, the tallest obstacle of the course (well done to Charlie who is not a fan of heights) they faced Electroshock Therapy. We ran into the obstacle together and had mixed feelings about it. Some of us got zapped only a bit , whilst some a bit more, however, the important thing is we did it. In the same way as last year, we ran into the finish line together, holding hands and with smiles on our faces because WE DID IT. We worked as a team the entire run, we had fun, we supported each other and we enjoyed it.
