TOUGH MUDDER NEW ENGLAND: A DAY OF EPIPHANIES


I love mountains because mountains tell the truth.

You can slay mileage on the treadmill, set new PRs on each Crossfit routine, conquer 50 miles on a flat Tough Mudder course that calls itself the "World's Toughest." And along the way you might convince yourself that you're in really good shape. That you're a beast. That you can just waltz onto any obstacle course on two day's notice and crush it. Even crush it multiple times.

And then a course like Mount Snow, Vermont brings you back to reality like a punch in the face.
