Good luck with the race! I wouldn't mind hearing about how it went. The long one I did was at Sun Peaks and I really didn't like it as we basically sumitted 3 mountains - it was more of a hard hike than a race. Curious to see what other Beasts are like to see if that was a one off or not.

From what I've been reading in the Spartan Race group in Reddit, it's not a grueling race, but a moderate one.
The five of us who are going are not very fit, so this will be a challenge for all us. We are doing the Open division, we can help each other.
What I can't gain on upper body strength, I'm making it up with endurance and researching the obstacles and how to pass them. I'm also working on my burpees
My goal is to complete the trifecta, but it is pretty funny to do the distances backwards.
I will post details after I do the race!
Thanks everyone for the advice
