Photographed here are a group of friends, who I followed around the Phoenix Tough Mudder obstacle course event. This is the final obstacle in the 12 mile course, named "Electroshock Therapy". As the group I was following started to enter the obstacle, the lead man Lou feels the pains of his first shock, as his fellow team mates and best friends laugh heartily at his suffering, just before they feel it for themselves.

About the last obstacle "Electroshock Therapy" - Sprint through a field of live wires — some carrying as much as 10,000 volts of electric shock. Watch out for hay bales and deep mud, or you will face-plant into some electrifying mud. Some Mudders℠ try to stealthily wind their way through the wires without getting shocked, while others barrel forward to get through as quickly as possible. Either way, you are guaranteed to get zapped with as much as 10,000 volts of electricity and it does NOT tickle. This is always the last obstacle Mudders must overcome before they cross the finish line.
