Going from tri to Spartan

This is a great reply! Thanks!

Does anyone else have anything else to add for the crossover between obstacle racing and long distance tri racing?

I’m planning on doing a Spartan “beast” (12+ miles, 30ish obstacles) in May. I won’t have any obstacle practice per say but will be going in with a ton of running and burpee fitness.

With a goal of “front of pack” in the competitive wave, am I in for a world of hurt?!

Any advise, tips, experiences are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I would suggest wearing gloves, thick football socks and thin quick drying clothing, I wear shorts regardless of temp and long or short sleave tight fitting shirt depending on temp, I run with a camelback for the super and beast races. I did the beast in VT a couple years ago, it was pretty tough. Also pay extra for the early morning start.
