Tough doesn't begin to describe the Bombsuit Mudder Team running in the Tough Mudder today. I got to watch 5 very brave, strong individuals run a course together that was tough for any person let alone someone wearing an 80 lb bombsuit. What? Yes, an 80 lb bombsuit. Eric Johnson's team of Tough Mudders called themselves the Bombsuit Mudder and challenged the course alongside Eric who was wearing this hot and heavy suit. The heat was a sweltering 95 degrees without a breeze to be found. Shade was minimal and it was hot! Why did they do it? They were raising money for the wounded warriors foundation and sold T-Shirts sponsored by "SayiWon't" clothing line before and after the race. I was honored to don the same red T-Shirt the day of the challenge that the team members wore and I must say it is a quite comfortable T-Shirt. You can find these shirts still on sale and support the Wounded Warriors Foundation through https://www.facebook.com/bombsuitmudder.org.
