Im Back!

I lived...barely. I can honestly say that race was the most physically and mentally challenging thing I've ever done. Nothing can prepare you for 34 degree water for over three hours. You shiver so violently that at one point I thought I chipped my teeth. Instead, it was mud and rock in my mouth. If you want to challenge yourself to the extremes the human body can endure, I guess I'll see you next in Wolverhampton.

Wish me luck!!!

I will be on hiatus from exposedandnaked for a week or so, unless those crazy Europeans have Wifi spots all around the countryside. I leave tomorrow night on Delta for England, and they better have a crap load of whiskey airplane bottles on board or I'm gonna get unruly. Sunday morning I'll be competing in the 2010 Toughguy Competition in 30-something degree weather. I'll be cold, wet, tired, muddy, thirsty, angry and did I mention cold, all the while sporting a Superman costume. I, of course, won't win, but no one will have a Superman jumpsuit on that creates a "situation" around the private area that no one wants to see...trust me on that. If I don't get arrested, it's gonna be really funny. Wish me luck!

Toughguy 2010, Wolverhampton England

If you thought I couldn't be dumber, I'm proving there's always room for improvement. On January 32nd(Feb 1st), I, along with several of my friends, are going to Wolverhampton England for the annual "Toughguy." Last year the race was started with temparatures in the 20's and snowfall. Racers sustained a variety of injuries from concussions, fractures, and the winner was treated for hypothermia. To say that I'm excited would be an understatement. Let's see, I hate cold water, mud, running, climbing, snow, and rain, so this should be awesome. Wish me luck.
