Having done these a few times ,I guess you could call me a veteran ! even if its just because of my age
but as a verteran some advice
firstly dont expect any of the clothes you ware to be usable after the race ! they get ripped to shreds
find a wall about 10ft high and then try and climb over it not as easy as it sounds trust me !
wear long sleeve top and cut down joggers . but cut down so as they still cover your knees when bent over
or crawling
if you want to be seen by friends make sure the top is a shocking colour mine was flouresant yellow
make sure the joggers dont hold water like the fleece ones and make sure the stay up when went and running !
gloves trust me very important , i found push bike gloves best like fingerless one but with a tuff leather palm !
socks, your feet maybe used to running, but not with gravel mud water and bits of weed stuffed into them
a good pair of double skinned walking socks was the best thing i found, no need for knee high
apart from that plasters on your nipples and vicks under your nose
plasters to stop joggers nipple but also as you climb over obsticles or crawl on your belly .
and one last thing !
dont under any circstances do not ! swallow any water !
no points for guessing why !
apart from that have fun
