Have you done an Adventure Race?

My husband and I are looking into doing an Adventure race (Orienteering, trail running, kayaking and mountain biking) the end of April. I was wondering if anyone had done one before and if they had some tips?

Orienteering: We are planning on hitting up some permanent courses at a national park near by. My husband did that in the military but I have never done it and it's been a while for him. I don't want to pay anyone to teach us, I would just like to learn and go do it. Any suggestions on sites or books?

Trail running: We have both done this quite a bit. I just wonder if you wear trail running shoes for the whole race? Is it a good idea to bring an extra pair of socks?

Kayaking: Short of kayaking, what exercises can get our upper bodies in shape that dont require a machine?

Mountain biking: No questions here.

Any tips or sites you recommend would be greatly appreciated!
