    I've done the Sprint, Super and Beast. No Ultra-Beast yet. The Super I did was in Virginia, Wintergreen Sky Resort, and was the most physically demanding experience of my life. And I did 22 years in the military. If you are doing a Super at a resort, I recommend you run, run, run. I also recommend a regular regiment of weighted walking lunges, stairs or a parking garage, whichever is closet. Finally, make sure and eat a very good breakfast and carb up days prior. My body ran out of energy at about the 4 mile mark and I never fully recovered. Gel packs in a small waist pack are great.

    The group I go with are doing it again and plan on being competitive. My wife and her best friend are doing it also and I'm recommending they do the C210k as a part of their prep. I did the 13+ Beast in SC 1 hour faster then the 8+ mile Super in VA.

    Train hard and I wish you luck.
