If your bar is tearing up your hands you might want to get some lifting gloves. I bought these for ~$14 and I no longer have calluses all over my hands.
Hey man. You're doing awesome!! I trained with the Tough Mudder Boot Camp exercises a couple times a week. All the exercise translate roughly to the muscle areas or skills you'll need for the obstacles.

The only obstacle that I failed at was the monkey bars. So go to the playground and do some monkey bars if that's a weak spot for you, too! Another tough obstacle that I saw some people having a hard time with was Everest- you're gonna want to practice sprints for that one because you need momentum. There are also lots of walls to climb over so I'd say train a lot of upper body strength. Also, practice your army crawls.
Mentally prepare yourself for the obstacles! The Arctic Enema scared me to death but I told myself exactly how I was going to get through it and it ended up being one of my easiest obstacles.
I did TM Boston this year, and it was hot as hell(about 90 degrees F) so make sure you drink AT LEAST one cup of water at each station, even if you're not feeling thirsty. You don't know when the next station is gonna be (unless you memorized the course map).
BUY GLOVES. I got these ones and they worked great: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00074H6SS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Don't wear anything you're not prepared to destroy or lose.
Climb some mountains or steep hills if there are any in your area. Seriously.
Tough Mudder was the most fun I've had in a long time, and I'm sure you'll have a great time too. Everyone is helping each other out at each obstacle, and I suggest you help others too, it feels great :)
I had the same problem. I do support in a squat rack with the dip attachements and support really hurt my hands.
I bought these gloves and my palms have been much better since.
(The gloves that shipped were not exactly like the photos. Mine have large wrist support straps that I don't use.)
