May 2018
May is a busy month for a wide variety of events and challenges, and the same is true in the OCR calendar. As the sunshine continues we have had fantastic weekends for both Nuclear races and Rat Race Dirty Weekend, as well as all of the endurance running events taking place. Find out how FFA clients, family members and Roel got on a bit later. The preparations for summer are well underway and this month we have focused on the winning combination of nutrition and specific body shaping goals in our bi-monthly blogs which we hope you find useful. If there is anything specific you would like to see to help you with your goals, please let Roel know.
Nuclear Races is one of the biggest events on the OCR calendar as well as one of the qualifying events for the OCR World Championships. Roel took on the 12Km 'Rush' course in a somewhat relaxed way as qualification was already completed and he was wearing a Go Pro camera for the first time too. Great video footage but a bit too long to share, please contact Roel if you would like to see it.
It remains a challenging course over 90 obstacles designed to test strength, grit and endurance. The weekend was a fantastic showcase of OCR at its best, a great atmosphere and a fantastic effort by all participants and of-course the organisers, marshalls and volunteers. These Nuclear events allowed some participants to get a feel of what to roughly expect during the OCR World Championships which is held at Nuclear Races terrain in October. The organisers can rectify some obstacle and congestion issues that impacted on race/event flow and competitive times. It was a great preparation for the World Championships. The events in October should be fantastic occasions!
