Mildred Wilson, an 81-year-old woman, has completed her second Tough Mudder in Missouri.<\/p>\n
Wilson was originally inspired by her son Danny Wilson, who completed the competition before. \u201cI had watched him do the World\u2019s Toughest Mudder in Vegas,\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Wilson told KFVS 12 News <\/strong><\/a>after her first Tough Mudder. \u201cHe asked me last fall if I would like to do one. I said yes, but, if I do it, I want to be able to really do it. Not just be out there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n According to the\u00a0Tough Mudder website<\/strong><\/a>, the obstacle course has a series of mud runs designed for \u201cpushing your physical and mental limits without the pressure of competition.\u201d\u00a0It requires participants to army crawl through pits of muddy water, before tackling a mile run filled with obstacles.<\/span><\/p>\n Wilson first attempted the course in 2019. After getting her doctor\u2019s approval, and training for months at the YMCA, Wilson finished Tough Mudder with her son at her side.<\/span><\/p>\n That first year, she had family and friends present to watch, including her biggest cheerleader: her husband, Farrell. But after Farrell passed away in 2020, Mildred decided she’d complete the course again, this time to honor her late husband.<\/span><\/p>\n In light of Wilson\u2019s second accomplishment, Tough Mudder posted an update to Instagram of the 81-year-old \u201ccrushing her second Tough Mudder.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A post shared by Tough Mudder (@toughmudder)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
