    Just continue running and working on strength. I did my first last year and it was a blast! Make sure you can pull yourself/up/over/through things and you should be good! Most of all just have fun!

    I've done a few runs (5k to Tough Mudder). You are climbing, crawling, jumping, etc. I would focus on the running. You can catch your breath at each obstacle. I'm not sure how active you are but things like push ups, squats, burpees, sit ups, etc will get you and your core stronger which will get you through the obstacles. They should have the obstacles on the website so you can get an idea of what you need to do.

    There is a team feel to these events so don't be afraid to help others and get help.
