Pages 48 to 51

A while back, I saw online promotion to Will Dean's It takes a tribe building the tough Mudder movement.  I never buy books until I have read them or if I know I want to read it because I have classified them as classics.  I always buy used books.  Don't let those bestsellers trick you, they might be purchased by people who don't read but love giving books away as gifts.

I'm currently on Chapter 2 of Dean's book and it is a easy read.   I find it funny that he mentioned the rival event, Spartan Race.  From my reading, he seems like a bitter rival.  Not a bitter loser but bitter that there is competition. 

It is funny that Joe De Sena's book came out before his.  I have finished reading Joe's book a long time ago and I feel that Joe is a lot older from the writing alone.

Maybe if Joe wrote his book at Dean's age, Joe might sound like Dean.

Anyhow, I'm enjoying Dean's book very much and I like the Tough Mudder event he has created.

Edit:. I originally wanted to blog after reading these few pages because as a participant, I actually find the people attending Spartan Race and Tough Mudder to be very similar.  Dean said Tough Mudder is different from Spartan Race but if you read my blog on Spartan Race, you will notice the amount of people that helped me whenever I asked for help during Spartan Race.  The punishment of Burpees is sometimes motivation for you to succeed because you really don't want to do the punishment.  I am actually starting to not mind the Burpees now, I have learned how to do it properly which create less strain on the body.  If you are doing it on grassy area, suck in the oxygen.
