The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

Interrupted during a workout last week at the Hammerdown Fitness gym in Dayton were Jerrod Culley, Daniel Bly and Marshall Wright, all of Dayton and all sporting fresh mohawks. The three, along with Scott Benevedis, also of Dayton, competed Saturday in "Tough Mudder Seattle," a 12 mile "hardcore obstacle course." The Tough Mudder website says: "To get through mud, fire, ice-water, and 10,000 volts of electricity you'll need teammates to pick you up when your spirits dip. To get over 12 foot walls and through underground mud tunnels, you'll need teammates to give you a boost and a push. Tough Mudders are team players who make sure no one gets left behind." The Dayton team, whose name can't be printed in a family newspaper, completed the course in a bit over 3 1/2 hours. "We loved every minute of it," Wright reported.
