Obstacle Course Races

When I turned 30 in 2012, I wanted to do something new to challenge myself physically. I decided to try my first obstacle course race.

My first OCR was a Tough Mudder in October 2012. Since then I have run 20 races totaling 174 miles. These include several different types of OCRs such as Spartan, Tough Mudder, GORUCK, Superhero Scramble, and a local mud run. The full list is below. I also ran a 10k street race but I find normal street races a little boring.

My goal is to continue running at least one race every year of my 30s to get to the point where my boys will be old enough to run them with me. This year my two oldest boys ran their first 1 mile Spartan Kids race. They are both ready to step up to the 2 mile kids race this year.
