Tough Mudder: Quagmire & Devils Beard. Rachael and I are somewhat cleaned off from the last obstacle and enjoying the relief of not having mud weighing us down when we get to Quagmire. Quagmire is a deep pit filled with muddy water that you drop down into and trudge across to the other side and crawl out of. For the longest time I really didn’t get why they even had this obstacle or Devils Beard, a large heavy rope net that you had to get on your hands and knees and crawl under. They weren’t scary or hard to do, and certainly nothing exciting. I was pretty annoyed that I was going to get muddy again. I had just gotten clean in the horse/goose poop pond, Now you want me to get muddy again? It was annoying that once again I was covered in mud. Then to add insult to injury I had to crawl under a heavy rope while the mud made it difficult to move. It was just very tiring. And there you have it. The purpose of those obstacles was to wear you down and make you uncomfortable by tiring you out. Tough Mudder is not just physically hard, but it’s mental as well. I guess all that time I spent jogging or riding the bike actually paid off. Truth be told I haven’t done either since I have been back. I did lift a very heavy carton of ice cream a few times though. Does that count?

Annie is not enjoying her roaring-twenties as much as she should be. She’s been jilted at the altar by Stephen-the-indecisive, is paying off a mountain of wedding debt by holding down two jobs, and her flat is mostly made of cardboard and spackle.
Then at work she meets a man in need of a date to his ex-fiancée’s wedding. Annie goes, and one wedding and four bottles of wine later, she finds herself getting married in Vegas to Dorian, an erotic illustrator.
Of course, it’s all great and romantic, until someone loses an eye, which here means, ‘until Annie gets home, and realises that her best friend (and boss) Will, has kind of been working up to popping the question himself. Will is not happy to see Annie married, in fact he’s willing to trade his Mohawk and every Ke$ha CD he owns to get Dorian out of the way.
As if that wasn’t enough to make things tense at work, Annie’s best-work-friend Yvonne (who knows something really fun you can do with a rugby player, some roller skates and chocolate spread) can’t resist getting involved in Annie’s love life. Neither can Dorian’s kleptomaniac sister Fifi, Dorian’s ex-bride and Annie’s mother.
In between breaking into cafés, having her door kicked down by the police and trying not to kill each and every one of her friends and relatives, Annie tries to work out how the hell her life got so complicated.
