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.
