I am now officially the person who runs on my lunch break at my office (2 miles at about 11 minutes a mile). I confess to feeling a wee bit smug as I sail back to my cubicle glowing with exertion.
I am now looking for tips on how to train for the rope climb portion of the race I am running at the end of October. I know there's some ex-military people on these boards - how do you actually learn and prepare to shimmy up a rope (the rope does appear to have some knots at semi-convenient intervals).
