Obstacle Course Racing for People Over 40

So you hit the big 40.  You've heard all the hype about how things change over night and you're just not the same person you used to be.  While it's true to some extent, and no denying the changes that getting older has on us, it doesn't mean that we can't be active, adventurous, and a bit daring.  Like with so many other things in life, the hardest part is just getting started.

Obstacle Course Racing is a new sport that has taken the public by storm and catching on like wildfire all over the country.  Chances are you are already familiar with at least one, and quite possibly several, of the obstacle course races that are available.  You may have even participated in one.  As long as you don't consider yourself an elite obstacle course racer, then this site might be for you.  Obstacle Course Racing Over 40 (OCRover40) was created with the beginning, over 40, obstacle course racer in mind.  Written from a total beginner's point of view, you will find helpful tips and insight into Obstacle Course Racing.  With lessons learned from each race and fitness, and diet advice to help you get in race-ready shape and attack all the obstacles and complete the race penalty-free.

So don't let age stop you -- I didn't.  My name is Steve Southerland and this is my site, Obstacle Course Racing Over 40.  I started it to share my passion for the sport of Obstacle Course Racing and hope that others will find the information I provide here useful.  This will be a work in progress for a while, as I'm just getting started.  If you'd like to make a suggestion for content you'd like to see covered on this site, then please drop me a line and share your ideas with me.  I'd love to hear from you.
