When will we see OCR athletes compete every four years on the world's biggest stage? The last 16 months have thrown a wrench in the plans, but "you'd be amazed how quickly things come back".
Along with OCR and the Olympics they also discussed:
Spartan Games Season Two! Venue: The Beach! Spartan Cross League. This is early but sounds very promising Spartan Ultra World Championships. This is the first year this 24-hour race has been held in the US. Spartan North American Champs. Tahoe, but with some surprises for long-time runners. Spartan World Championships in Abu Dhabi. "Like nothing OCR has ever seen before."After you listen, go to The OCR Report on Instagram to join the conversation. What do you think about OCR and the Olympics?

Katelyn Ritter of Obstacle Running Adventures joined Will to talk about Day 2 of the Spartan Games. Katelyn has gone on record on her show as not being a big fan of the Hunter McIntyre show. We talk about how much of that is real and how much is for the cameras.
Katelyn also talked about her Ice Cream 5k experience and Will makes plans to run one from his garage. (Will apparently has a freezer in his garage. Weird flex, but ok.)
This is (hopefully) the last time we talk Hunter/Aaron drama. There are other places to get your OCR TMZ fix. We will focus on the competition side of the sport.
