So I like obstacle course racing. I have doing races for the past 3 years and have just fallen in love with the sport. The personal challenge, the feeling of accomplishment, the motivation to train 6 days a week, seeing the best in humanity are just a number of reasons why I love it.
I've always had a thing for playgrounds and obstacles since I was little. I used to love going to playgrounds and the bigger the better. I also loved indoor adventure centres and soft play places. We used to have one in Stevenage, where I grew up, and I had the best of times running round there playing (RIP Carters). I guess this fascination has translated into obstacle course racing (not gonna lie, still will drive past a good playground and usually say 'oh that's a good playground'- though sadly less socially acceptable these days to go and play on it!).
So this year I have decided to complete quite a few OCR's to raise money for 2 great charities (more on that later), hence why my blog's URL is '200 miles of mud'.
This year the calendar will roughly include:
10 Tough Mudders
Dirty Dozen
Nuts Challenge
Spartan Super
Zombie Evacuation
Mudnificent 7
The Major Challenge
Survival of the Fittest
And probably a few more i'll sign up for later in the year...
I wanted to blog to keep me motivated, report back on each race and generally have an outlet to ramble on about OCR without anyone telling me to shut up!
