Yesterday, Austin completed the Tough Mudder obstacle course - 12 miles of obstacles designed for British special forces and now touring all over the United States. He finished in about 4 hours (the average time is 3 hours), an amazing feat for having hardly trained physically. His friend Beau invited him to join their team several months ago, and he said he was grateful to have a team to go with. Here are some pictures, graciously taken by Beau's parents (we didn't actually go to watch - can you imagine the boys sitting still with all this mud?).
