A two-day event held in the middle of Summer which in the UK can mean snow or glorious sunshine. Once again, I was lucky as the sun shone down on us.
The first day of this event I photographed the runners as they completed a brand new for the year obstacle “The Whopper”. If they completed it, they got to press the button at the end and fire the flames of the grill!
Now, I could have put some pictures up that were the stereotypical flames either side of the image but let’s be honest flames and wind don’t mix at the best of times although they do make for some very amusing photos! The results are a little unpredictable, but they made myself and the participants smile at the results. Where else would you see what appears to be hair on fire, a button covered with flames or a group of people looking like they are passing wind made up of flames, I had it all.
A great day had by all and lots of laughter.
On Day Two I was on the “Peaks of Pain” which I had covered a few years ago in London and that was great fun, so I knew what to expect. Mud, Mud, Mud, and boy was it bad.
This year the competitors seemed to have a liking for getting completely covered in the thick brown mud which made for some great images. Tough Mudder events are always great to photograph as the competitors really do go all out to have a great time and enjoy all the obstacles they encounter. It was Tough, it was Muddy and I was thrilled to be a part of it again this year with Epic Action Imagery.
