    I ran one recently and best I can tell you is cardio is your best friend. It's an endurance obstacle course. You'll be running 3 miles and doing a LOT of climbing so it's best to work your upper body strength.

    There are tricks to climbing ropes that don't wear out your arms. Youtube it.
    There are also tricks to climb high walls that don't require tons of energy. Youtube it.

    You should be fine.

    If you've registered, you should have access to download the book "You'll Know at the Finish Line". It's full of information. I've got my first one in August and a MFP pal just completed her first. She said upper body strength is important. Good luck!

    With all spartan events, you will do burpees....start practicing now. If you need a pass an obstacle, you have to do burpees to get around it. If you fail to complete an obstacle, you will do bupeees...

    The stronger you are at them, the better off you will be....

    I have signed up for the Spartan Beast in August and it will be my first Spartan event. I have heard great things about the Spartan races and am really looking forward to it...I heard the penalty for not completing an obstacle was 30 Burpees.
