How to use "Dead set" in context?
Dead set: adj. absolutely determined to do something; absolutely committed to achieving a goal.
There is nothing like a dead set determination in the face of adversity. This is what I found when I decided to do a Tough Mudder. Tough Mudder is intense, challenging and definitely not your average race. There are obstacles everywhere, some as deep as three feet, and you have to go through them all with as much energy as you can muster.
I was dead set on completing it and I had been training for months. Plus, I had the support of my friends and family, who were all cheering me on.
