![]() The success of OCR events may arise from the notion that they can appeal to all! They are a challenge for Elite Ellie and CrossFit Chris, whilst still being a fun day out for Beginner Betty and her mates all dressed in tutu’s. This must be why so many now flock to these events every year. ![]() Be it competing in events lacking fitness, or being unprepared for weather, there’s always something to learn and improve upon for future events. All this is to highlight the different challenges that OCR throws at you. Taking part in a 10 mile Tough Mudder again in May 2019 was a different challenge altogether! I was fit enough this time but wasn’t prepared for a freakishly cold day in May to give me the shivers for the rest of the day.įeeling fitter and stronger than ever I’m looking forward to trying out a Spartan race in late summer of 2020 (when I hope it will be plenty warm). This all changed in 2019 when I retired from rugby and took up running instead. ![]() My next was a Tough Mudder in 2018 I was reminded by a friend 2 days before the event that it was in fact a 10 mile event (not the 10km that I thought I had signed up for) and my reflection again was that, although I really enjoyed it, I still wasn’t anywhere near fit enough for the running… (hardly surprising given my lack of training). I had a lot of fun but learned that I was far from fit enough to run at a good pace between the obstacles (especially the hills…). I did my first obstacle course race ( OCR) in 2017: a 10km Rough Runner.
