It's the third New England OCR Expo that has been put on and it is easily the most involved Mike has been! In 2020 we were just vendors with a table, last year Mike helped with getting athletes to show up and give short talks. This year Mike was on the board, attended biweekly meetings for months, and worked to help get more vendors and sponsors out to the event!
We are splitting up content from this event into two so we can have an easier week next week and Mike can focus on his own race but in this part one you will hear from the vendors (see below)
We hope to get registration going for next year's event soon so we hope to see you there in 2025!

Mike finally traveled to New York to participate in and cover Obstacle Wonderland's Boogie Wonderland Event!
Wanting to both support a small northeast race and get some good mileage in, Mike registered for the 6 hour race. He ran 3 laps, interviewed the 3 hour finisher athletes with some midrace brain fog, ran another lap, interviewed the 6 hour finisher athletes while freezing in the windy cold on and off rain, the DJ, Gabe Capobianchi, Asa Coddington, and then recorded a personal recap while driving back to New Jersey!
We highly recommend you check out an Obstacle Wonderland event, the Northeast Ultra OCR Cup put together by Viking OCR, and come to the New England OCR Expo adding the virtual run for an awesome medal!

Back in the day Spartan Stadium races were our favorite to both run and cover as media. We remember seeing a large man in a clown mask doing well at most of the events that we went to. Over more recent years Kevin Gregory/Bubbles the Clowne has grown to be even more of a threat in the hybrid racing scene!
Kevin has also become a friend of the show, as well as Mike's coach for about a year. Mike vowed that his first hybrid fitness race would be at his gym Underdog Fitness in Wallingford, CT! It took a while to get a date to fit in the schedule but Katelyn and Mike took it on despite Mike being pretty nervous (I am not a strong man) and having back issues (likely a weak core), and Katelyn waking up sick on Friday.
You'll hear from David Rundio, Kristine Pavelchak, Robert Landman, Ashley Harten, Lauren Carlson, Melinda Noel, Michael Racine, Greg Viggiano, Katelyn Ritter, ?, Heather Dall'Aste, Elizabeth Almansa, Kelly Sullivan, Taylor Febus, Mike Tubiak, Lisa Wawrzynowski, Kiefer Callisto, Amber Tait, Alexander Golik, Jess Gregory, Zack Tait, and Kevin Gregory!

We haven't done one of these episodes in a while, and we were totally okay with that!
With recent changes in the industry (unfortunately most being negative), we wanted to have an episode where we share our thoughts and feelings on some events that are not with us anymore like Warrior Dash and Rugged Maniac or have extremely unclear futures like Terrain Race and Bonefrog.
The videos referenced were our 2014 Rugged Maniac, 2016 Warrior Dash, 2016 Rugged Maniac, 2017 Warrior Dash, 2017 Rugged Maniac, 2018 Bonefrog, 2019 Terrain Race, and 2019 Rugged Maniac so check one, two, or all of them out!

Paul Lachance recently ran his 200th Spartan Race at the age of 82 this caught The OCR Report's attention for a post which then caught our eye for a potential episode.
We were excited to reach out to him both for the impressive accomplishment, and because he represents a unique age demographic who take on OCR. Older OCR athletes have always been inspirational to us but we haven't had an episode focus on it before.
We discuss how he found obstacle course racing, his family's military background, favorite and least favorite Spartan venues, medical barriers that he has pushed through in his life, how it feels to be embraced by sponsors and the community, how to buy his shirts, plans for the rest of the year and much more!
I really enjoyed talking and laughing with him. Be sure to add him on facebook, follow him on Instagram, and reach out about getting yourself a shirt!

We have been wanting to have Alisa Petrova on the show for a while now with us first reaching out to her back in December 2022 to talk about the Spartan World Championships that year! Her being 9 hours ahead of us made it pretty difficult to plan a good time to record but it was worth recording at 5am our time to finally have her on the show!
Alisa talks about how she wasn't medically allowed to engage in sports at a young age but eventually got into speed walking and later became involved with Hero Race. In more recent years she has continued to prove herself to be a podium threat at many championship events including the Spartan World Championships.
Within the past month she took on a new challenge in the form of an ultra by competing and winning Tough Mudder Infinity in AlUla. We discuss the barriers of fueling, pacing, and dealing with poor race day communications at the event. Also, her experience at the Government Games in Dubai this year!

Another episode idea from my episode ideas list was to focus on another demographic in the sport that deserves more attention and support and to do this we had Heather Jo Cox from Grey Betties on the show!
We discuss how she found the sport, her background with roller derby as well as body building, and all about the Grey Betties which is a team created for 40+ year old women in sport to both create a community and help reduce intimidation at the start line!

Something that we have had on our potential future episode list for a long time is an episode on adaptive athletes in the sport of OCR. Once I started looking, it seemed like Andy Reid was the man to have on the show to talk about it. He is the founder of OCR Adaptive Athletes and has created a community on facebook to suport each other and to reach out to various countries around to world to try and get their events to be more inclusive!
We discuss what it means to be a pioneer in helping pave a better future in this sport, the difference between the term adaptive and para-athlete, visable and invisable barriers for athletes, changes that he would like to see race directors make, and much more!
Be sure to join his Facebook group and see what you can do to help more people enjoy our sport!

She has been mentioned by a couple athletes during interviews and has recently been added to the MudGear-Hannibal Race Pro Team so we were excited to have Sarah Grippi-Snyder on the show!
She is pretty new to the sport but has had a great start in both obstacle course racing as well as hybrid racing. We discuss her life traveling in an RV, how she feels about joining a pro team in the sport, and her business of 3GX Mental Performance Training, and more!

After reading her name at least a dozen times when reviewing podiums during quick news last year, we finally had Cassandra Gill on the show!
She is fairly new to the sport but has found some pretty great success in the sport lately which led to her making the top 5 of Jack Bauer's post highlighting the leaderboard of elite Spartan Race podiums across 2023. She is also both an animal, and a serious ice cream lover so she is one of our people!
We discuss her athletic background, how she found obstacle course racing, support from fellow athletes, getting through some failures, some of her favorite race memories in 2023, big plans for 2024 and more!

We are very proud of the number of guests that we have had on the show over the years. A big name in the sport of obstacle course racing that we hadn't gotten around to yet was Garfield Griffiths though!
With the news of him no longer being a race director over at Spartan Race, effectively ending his 12 year old career of race directing for brands such as Battlefrog, Savage Race, OCRWC, and Spartan itself, we figured that it would be a good time to reach out and have him on!
We talk about the changes that he has seen in the sport over the years, lessons learned in race directing, favorite race venues, his love for cigars and bacon, and how his position in the company has changed.
We also discuss fun facts like him being the creator of Savage Race's "Wheel World" obstacle and what he wanted to call it, his history of spinning recorrds at the first ever Ultra EDM show, and how he started a Facebook group for dad jokes that now has 45 thousand members.

For our last regular episode of the year we wanted to have a guest on to talk about the Spartan World Championships in Abu Dhabi!
We wanted a foreign athlete on the show but were worried about potential language barriers. When we saw that Nikolaj Dam took third place in the beast, was on the Danish team with Ida and Leon who took third, and participated in the 3K we were excited to reach out to him!
We discuss his start in OCR, his successful weekend in Abu Dhabi, thoughts on the 3K format, adventure racing, and much more!

This week we going hybrid and are giving some love to the Deka World Championships in Texas that happened last weekend!
While hybrid racing isn't a focus for this show or a big passion for us personally, we wanted to switch gears for a bit and hear more about this big long weekend event.
Kevin Gregory not only won the Deka Strong but also won 4 different team events with one of them creating a new world record! He has an extensive history in obstacle course racing but has really found his niche in hybrid racing as you can hear about the first time we had him on for his own episode!
We highly recommend you watch the Live Streams of this event found on The OCR Report YouTube channel!
