I got talked in to doing the Dirty Girl too!! The one in Aug tho...here I was all excited thinking we'd be @ the same one!

Anyway, good question! Im glad you asked & can't wait to read some (hopefully) helpful advice!!!

Awesome! Do you have a team? I am pretty excited for it now that I've committed to - bummed that I have to wait 3 months!

Just read my original post - meant to say "way to prepare". Darn autocorrect.

I ran the Dirty Girl last year and plan to again this year. It wasn't that hard honestly. The obstacles are fairly simple, you just have to be prepared to crawl, climb and trudge through mud and water. There's not a good way to train for these lower key mud runs. If it was a Tough Mudder or something that might be different but these are simple and pretty easy. If you can do a 5K no problem, you'll be just fine
