Well, it's official

I just signed up for my first race. 

The Spartan (super length) in VA Aug 25.  It's 8+ miles of obstacles and what not. 

I'm not worried about the obstacles, but  the running worries me.  I'm a horrific runner.  If you've done things like this, how much running would you say you actually do?

Re: Well, it's official

  • I think it depends on how many people are racing. I did a race like this back in October and there was a good amount of waiting to get over each obstacle because there were a lot of people racing. That being said when I did the race I could hardly run a mile, let alone 5K so it worked out well because we ran some, walked some.
  • I'm doing that race too!  More concerned about the obstacles than the running, though!

  • I'm doing the Spartan in NJ in September.  I haven't done anything like it before, but from what I've heard, you don't really have to be a "runner" since there is so much stopping and starting with obstacles. I'm definitely more concerned about getting through the obstacles!
