It's been brought to my attention that I have not really introduced myself to you readers properly, and I thought what better way to do so, then with an Athlete Profile of myself. Other members of the Tough Mudder Tour 2014 have or will have their Athlete Profile uploaded soon (check out Laura's here). So here is just a little something about myself.
So, my name is Michael Fraser, and I am a 26 year old Melbournian. I currently work as a gardener, and part time as an event planner. I found out about Tough Mudder through a friend at the beginning of 2013, and completed my first Mudder in March 2013 in Melbourne. In September 2013, my Tafe classmates and I traveled down to Phillip Island to volunteer and work at Tough Mudder on the Saturday, and we then ran the course on Sunday (my second event). From there my love for obstacle courses and Tough Mudder just exploded.
Sport is my lifelong love, especially hockey (field hockey for you internationals). I started playing when I was 7 years old, and have played ever since, minus a couple years I had to take off due to injury. About 5 years ago I started playing netball once a week, which then grew to twice a week. I loved it so much, that I was eventually playing 4+ games a week. All you netballers out there will know how bad it is for your knees and ankles, which I found out the hard way - 4 times (twice each foot) I rolled my ankle tearing all the ligaments badly. You may know from previous posts that I am quite injury prone ...
