Yes! I had a great time. Ran in the 8am wave on Sunday morning. Here's a shot of me (in the red shirt) at the top of the Devil's Beard obstacle:

I definitely bit it on the monkey bars, because I was wearing some greasy Mechanix gloves out of my toolbox, but didn't have any other trouble with obstacles. The hills were fun. I like hills 8)
As for training, I didn't do anything specific to Tough Mudder, but I think all of the marathon-oriented stuff I've been doing (30+ miles/week running) was sufficient. Tough Mudder is really about 90% cardio, and if you've got that down, you probably have enough upper body strength to get through the rest of it. For what it's worth, today (one day after Tough Mudder) I was able to bike 10 miles and run 3 miles, with no issues...
