Confessions of an Amateur Athlete

I've been using minoTOR for some time now, especially with my OCR Training. I use it as a pre-workout or post-workout to both increase endurance and recover quicker from intense strength training workouts. Now's your chance to win a whole minoTOR prize package!

My Spartan Beast & Sprint Race Weekend both went better and not as well as I planned. Regardless, I had a blast and am still keeping my goal to complete a trifecta each year! As many of you may have already read, I've been training the last few months to complete my Spartan Trifecta  by racing both the Spartan Beast and Sprint in the Colorado Rockies .

Earlier this year I got my first taste of the Spartan/OCR world. (Read my Spartan AZ Race Report Here) It was tough, it was challenging, and I knew I wanted more. I ran the Super in AZ, and to complete my "Trifecta"--all three race distances in one year--I will have to do both the Beast (half-marathon distance) AND the Sprint (5k distance) back to back. So that's the game plan for Spartan Colorado in just a few weeks! It's going to be quite the challenge, and I've been training hard to prepare the best I can.

I. AM. A. SPARTAN!  It's what we yell at the Spartan Race start line before heading out on a course full of obstacles to test your endurance and strength. But I put a lot of work into my Spartan Training. I'm by no means an OCR expert athlete, but from one amateur to another, I'm sharing my OCR Training Story to help make your Spartan Adventure more fun.
