I don’t have anymore races on the books for 2017 and I’m already bummed! This is my first year doing obstacle course races, so I’m not sure how bad the withdrawals will be until my next race (which is Warrior Dash in March). I’m kind of guessing it may be similar to that same empty…
Here is an interview with my friend (and race buddy) Mark Samford. This was done for a school project, but I felt it was good enough that it might offer someone new to the sport (or thinking about signing up for a race for the first time) some useful information and let them hear another…
I love my Adidas! I’ve had several pairs in various styles and colors over the years. Unfortunately my last two pair have each met their untimely demise, courtesy of obstacle course racing.

So here it is only September 2017 and I’ve already registered for two races in 2018 — Warrior Dash and Spartan Super. Why? Well, (1) because I love this stuff, (2) because I don’t want to give myself any wiggle room to slip out of my goals, and (3) it saves me money. 🙂 But…
