1. Actually train. No, seriously. Running. Pushups. Situps. Hill drills. Seriously.
2. Do it with friends!
3. Get more than 4 hours of sleep the night before.
4. Don't fly in from anywhere the same morning.
In spite of not following any of my own recommendations, I survived.
Yes, survived. The thing about having the race at a ski hill is that you've got to run up the hill. And down. And up. There was not a lot of flat. (And therefore, there was not a lot of running on my part.)
The obstacles were fun to tackle -- I did bow out of two of them, but I think I would give them a tray next time. There was a length of trail that was really (shoe-sucking) muddy, and that was unfortunate... but I made it across the finish line and got my medal!
