How should your prepare for race day?????

Before race day try running in mud run conditions. Wear old clothes and boots. Specifically, you need long pants to protect you from scrapes and thick socks because cotton + water = blisters. Jump into a bog or a lake, then go for a run. You'll quickly determine which pieces of clothing won't work. It wouild be infuriating to discover half way through the mud run on event day that your clothing or boots are uncomfortable and chafe when wet and muddy.

Other commonly asked questions:

Will I get wet? DEFINITELY!

Will I get dirty? GUARANTEED -- THE CLOTHES YOU WEAR WILL NEVER COME CLEAN!

Do I need gloves? IT'S A GOOD IDEA, THEY WILL PROTECT YOUR HANDS WHILE PUSHING ASIDE BRUSH, CLIMBING AND CRAWLING.

Will I loose my shoes? BETTER BRING A ROLL OF INDUSTRIAL DUCT TAPE! YOU'LL WANT TO TAPE YOUR SHOES TO YOUR PANTS SO THE MUD PITS DON'T SUCK THEM RIGHT OFF YOUR FEET!
