Personal Narrative: The Tough Mudder

181 Words1 Page

The Tough Mudder is very impressive for me by its motivations of all participants. Unlike the relax atmosphere at Noosa Jazz Festival, the day I attendant in Tough Mudder was a very busy Sunday with over five thousands of attendees in that day. My first job was cheering people up in the first obstacle, Kiss of the Mud, and it is really interesting experience to me. In most of the event, the volunteers are the boundary spanners of the event organization. So that before I did my job, the volunteer manager told us we should do whatever things we could to cheer people up by encourage them and make some noise. Though our passionate encouraging, people seemed more enthusiastic about competing in the challenges and expecting about the further obstacles.

The lights were off, the door was closed, and she barricaded each ear with a pillow to block out any sound that might further trigger her migraine.

    At the end of practice, I would always go home with a bright red face and sweat pouring down my body, creating a wet ring on my shirt collar. However, we all wanted to make ourselves satisfied as well as our coach to make the most out of our practices and so we wouldn’t get more difficult workouts the next time because of lack of participation. The first time that I won a race in a track meet made me feel like I accomplished something. I really liked that feeling of being successful on my own despite the criticism I had received about being successful.

Those long nights training, working so hard to achieve their dream. No one becomes successful overnight.

    The Last Battle During the winter months, many children entertain themselves by building a snowman, playing in the snow, sledding, or maybe having a snowball fight with an older sibling. Like other eight year old kids, I loved going outside as soon as we received winter blizzard … but my idea of entertainment was drastically different than the average child. Instead of playing in the snow, I preferred battling the Bobcats - and the battle that I lost will be scarred on my face forever.
