How about the opportunity to meet like-minded DINKS from all over the country? You’d better get your game face on because we have an amazing opportunity for you!

The Tough Mudder is a “10-12 mile obstacle course designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie.” The challenge is not timed—through teamwork and determination the mission is to finish the challenge. All proceeds from the race support the Wounded Warrior Project. The challenge is offered in several venues around the world. We have chosen to target the one at Wintergreen Resort in Virginia simply because of the timing (It gives us a little over a year to train—so everyone has time to get themselves in shape for the event).

We are looking for a few good DINKS to join a team. Before you say, “No way! That’s just crazy talk!” Let it simmer for a while. We’re talking about October 6, 2012—that’s over a year away! You have plenty of time to train.

Why a DINK team?

Well, to state the obvious, we’re an awesome bunch of people! But there are other reasons…

• This is not a race to be taken lightly. It will take time and dedication to train, and we have the choice to use our evenings and weekends as we wish.

• It’s a great opportunity to meet like-minded DINKS! Imagine the bonding of sharing a rigorous training experience, talking about it in the Forum, and then making the trip to Virginia for the Tough Mudder in October 2012 and meeting your teammates in person after a year spent training online together.

• DINKS are more willing to take risks. It’s just a fact. I’ve had countless parents tell me, “Now that we have children, we’re just not as willing to take the risks we used to take. What if something happened to us?” That’s not to say this race is death-defying, but it is pretty hardcore.
