Everyone I am only 5 weeks out from surgery but I decided to train for the Savage Race coming to Maryland in July. Its a + mile curse with 25 obstacles through out. I been working on my cardio and lifting weights. Any other tips for train for this type of event would be great.

The web site is SavageRace.com if anyone wants to take a look at it. there are a few more happening this year in different states.

I'm not sure I could help with this kind of race. From my review of the website, its a little like a Tough Mudder race. If that's the case, it's less about racing and more about strength and team work. Are you racing with anyone else? From my experience in this kind of race, first time through you can really use a teammate to help you through the obstacles. Good luck. It looks like a lot of fun.

Thanks, and yes i have a few people going with me. I just broke the 300 mark and was thinking about 60lbs by then should be doable. that would put me around 240 with that and everything I am doing now I think ill be able to do most of the obstacles. I just really need to get my cardio up and being heavy right now and working out helps a lot with that. I figure by the time I drop more weight ill have Iron longs. lol

I am so thinking about doing the Tour De Cure with some people from work in May. Figure that could help me as well.

I compete here in Florida we are doing mud endeavor in march 3 days before my surgery ( yikes )

My husband is training for savage race in July... If I'm well by them I might just join him!
