TOUGH MUDDER

Tough Mudder was a one-day event testing strength, endurance, and camaraderie – toughmudder.com. The course includes mud, fire, water, steep terrain, obstacles, and whatever they can find to challenge the participants to the extreme. Proceeds from the event went to the Wounded Warrior Project. Stephanie Burke joined the event with a team from the Allentown Fire Department; their team consisted of 28 males and 2 females. Stephanie works as a Paramedic for the City of Allentown and works with the Fire Department. To train for the event Stephanie kept going to Freewheeling classes and increased her weight training. This was the first of 3 events that Stephanie has lined up for this summer as she is still training for 2 Triathlons that are in June and August. Training at the Bethlehem Racquetball Club has been great for her, especially when the weather is bad outside! Being physically fit helps Stephanie on the job and to enjoy an active lifestyle.
