Brotherton OCR

Pala pictures are out! Tried to sum up what the race weekend meant to me! I've kind of stopped trying to "do good" and moved into my old man era of "have fun with friends", lol. But don't get me wrong, still tried to at least push myself in my 1 AG race. -- Tons of fun with races with friends, other friends, and 2 "Spartan Virgin" clients I took out for their first event!

We've got a very nearby local Spartan Race coming up in 10 days! Get some practice in this Sunday! Just $10

Proud of the Brotherton OCR crew that threw down on Sundays Hyrox races! A little wrench in the gears meant I got to be on camera duty watching these guys (and gals) throw down some awesome efforts! Proud of them all!

So... I DID complete my 6th solo Hyrox yesterday. Very glad I was able to get out there and do it, but also my slowest time to date!
1) I am VERY much taking responsibility for falling off my running. I wasn't as prepared as other races.
2) The week leading in, I caught a cold/bug. It was mild, but would feel it whenever I tried to exercise. Made, what turned out to be a big mistake, or taking a bunch of Mucinex the day before/morning off, to try to expel and loosen any remaining gunk. It actually dehydrated my whole body, and I couldn't retain water. When my chest was cramping trying to SING on the drive up, I knew it was going to be a long day.
So ya.... Taking away what I will. My teammate afterwards even commented: "You don't seem as dead as usual", which was true because I just couldn't breathe and push myself as usual. I got Phoenix Hyrox next on the calendar! (And a Spartan trifecta weekend in Jan)

Hope to see you all this Saturday!
