Things to wear:

  • Comfortable well draining shoes that you've run extensively in.

  • Compression underwear like this For me this is a must have item as it really helps keep mud out of that area, and is super fast to dry.

  • If you're going to wear shorts over the compression underwear as I do, I recommend board shorts as they are designed to get wet, are light weight, dry extremely fast, and have minimal to no pockets.

  • For a top, in the same vein as everything else, pick something easy to dry and lightweight. Cotton is not your friend here.

    What to bring:

  • Cash. Cash for parking. Cash for bag check. Cash for food. Cash for merch.

  • Food/Water. Yes they serve food there, but you might want to bring some cliff bars/water anyway.

  • Extra Change of clothes. You'll get a new shirt provided you finish the race, but bring new underwear and pant/shorts. I also recommend a pair of sandals or flip flops for after. It's just easier.

  • Garbage bags. You're gonna need a place to put all your dirty clothes.

  • Towel/Baby wipes. The water hoses will get most of the mud off of you at the end of the race. But having a towel and some baby wipes will help finish what the hose can't get.

  • Lip balm/some sort of lotion. It's hot, and you're constantly going through a constant change of cold/hot/wet/dry/wind/dust etc. You're skin will take a beating. As soon as you're done cleaning off and changed into clean clothes, put lotion on your skin and lip balm on your lips (even if you don't think you need it)

    What to do before the race:

  • Arrive at least 1 1/2 hours early. Parking/registration/bag check/race prep etc. takes longer than you might think. You're going to want time to stretch, and get your mind right before you start. Bring your photo ID.

  • Eat a good breakfast before the race, and give yourself enough time to digest. You're going to want calories to burn, but at the same time a country fried steak would be a bad choice.

  • Hydrate well before the race. (this means the previous couple days before the race as well)

  • Go #2 before the race.

    What to do during the race:

  • Help others on the course. If someone is struggling, help. Even if they are not on your team. Accept help from others when given. Make friends.

  • Pay attention to what's going on around you. When you're going over a Berlin wall and you're about to swing your leg over, is someone else there? Don't elbow/kick people in the face because you're not paying attention.

  • Watch your landings when you're coming down from high obstacles.

  • Don't be an asshole. Don't yell at people if they are going slow through a tunnel, get stuck on monkey bars, or freeze on walk the plank. Tough Mudder is not a race, but a challenge.

    Obstacle specific tips:

  • Arctic Enema : Jump into the water. Don't slide into it all slow. Try to jump as close to the center divider as possible, quickly duck under and get out of there quick. It really is super cold, and the less time you spend in there the better. As soon as you get out do jumping jacks until you can feel your fingers again.

  • Everest : the middle section is usually the most slick, if you can try to sprint up more along the edge of the half pipe. When you run up, you almost want to lean back, not forward, and jump at the last second possible. Don't grab anyone's hands, grab the wood at the top, and if you need assistance you'll get it.

  • Any obstacle where you are wading through knee high or above mud (especially the new pitfall) : Don't run here. There will be pot holes, and you will eat it big time, and even worse, roll and ankle. Slow controlled steps.

    ...And that's all I can think of for now. Sorry this was so long. You're going to have a blast, just enjoy it and stay safe out there!

Speaking from experience of buying about 4 or 5 difference cheap (sub $20 pairs on Amazon w/ great reviews), it's just not worth it. The materials are sub-par and will likely hurt like hell on any run over 3 miles. Even using Body Glide, my legs still rubbed with the cheap materials.

Best recommendation - try to find an outlet store for a major brand name. Personally, I go to a Nike outlet about 1 hour drive away. Their running shorts run about $30-40 per pair, and if you're lucky, run occasional clearance for $15. I've seen this twice and picked up about 3 pairs each time.

Other option is to try compression shorts. Those you can get without the same concerns of rubbing (from my experience at least).

Links for fun.

I bought these under armor compression shorts for less than $25 on Amazon and they worked great. I did the Temecula sprint in January and expect them to last through the Seattle Super and MT Beast. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088IB76C?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
