First ever 100m competition!

Decided on a short notice to take part in the 100m @ocrsprintuk Sprint series race!
Totally out of my comfort zone and I’m definitely not the fastest or the most elegant, but still enjoyed it.
The tunnel was pretty warm and I’ve totally ripped my palms at the monkey bars only noticing it just before the wheels.
Unfortunately wasn’t able to run again, but still managed to be 5th fastest women of the day and got a 🥇 place in the Masters division!!
Super proud of myself. It was an amazing experience and it’s helping to get faster going into the obstacles. Strength has definitely improved since training with @dave.peters86.
Thanx to @ocrlou_fitiq & Fitiq “Intelligent Training for Life”tunnel to provide their amazing facilities for this race, @techy.tommy to organise the event and Richard and @wargraveviking who built it.

Also massive congratulations to @ildikodan13 for 🥈 and @nayibe.statia for 3🥉

New skill unlocked:
Got over my fears and jumped into the 2nd wheel at @ocrlou_fitiq .
Thanx @shy__shy_03 for encouragement and video!

First trail race for a long time, thanx to @shy__shy_03 !

Did the @theonerace.events at Marlow on Sunday. Super organised race with loads of enthusiastic and friendly marshals, awesome wooden medal, that even spins and nice treats at the end!
Highly recommend the race as well. Very well marked, three hills with good elevation and mixture of road and trail.

Don’t particularly like pure running races, but trying to get out of my comfort zone.
Race started directly into a gentle hill climb, before we went into the woods. Three hills were to follow at 2, 4 and 6km, last one was quite a biggy.
6.5k and 10k races all started together and we were split at km 4. From there on I had two ladies just in front of me. Both were better on the uphill section, but I was faster and more manic on the downhills.
So I’ve kept them in reach with the plan to try and overtake them on the last downhill to the finish line. I’ve managed to catch the lady just in front of me, but the 2nd one also sped up and just got through the finish line before me. As we had all started at the same time, I had no idea, how many runners had finished before us, so I was very surprised, when I found out that I was 🥉 of all the women and 5th overall for the 6.5km.

Super chuffed with myself! (Some yummy #quarkmutzen as after race treat!)

Also well done to @shy__shy_03, who came 5th and to @ocrlou_fitiq, who gave @wargraveviking a good fight.

Thanx to @deltafitnesspt for getting me stronger and back to running.

Sunday - or just try to kill me day! 🤣

“Just let us go for a run around the block” @shy__shy_03 said!
5km running, numerous high rig work, farmers and sandbag carries and low rig work later, I was done for the day!

We run out of excuses not to go out for early Monday morning run, so we were back on the roads today.
12x200m with 1min brake in between sets. It all went better than expected, even the sun came out.

Trying to remember/ working on my drills (shown by @beaarubio4v) from @talkingdirtyocr Finland trip! by @angryflamingoocr

Full @deadly.dozen sim of all labours at FIT IQ organised by and with @ocrlou_fitiq done today. It was an absolute killer especially as I hadn’t trained for it, so pretty happy about my time of 44:50min.
Questioning my life choices at the end 🤣🤣

@deltafitnesspt, I still have some work to do by @angryflamingoocr

Finally finished this climb and got over the green most annoying blob in the middle of it!
I love small tiny holds and my fingertip grip strength is one of my strong elements.
Now I have to get onto massive holds to get out of my comfort zone.

Less than a month to go for the OCR World Championships in Sweden!

Our boy has done amazingly since he started his OCR 100m journey @fitfest_uk in Birmingham.

He always loved doing obstacles, climbing @oakwoodclimbing as part of the academy, doing proper ninja stuff at @true_function_ninja_training with the amazing @diontrigg, working on his strength @a2b__fitness and working on his obstacle speed techniques at the amazing FITIQ tunnel thanx to @ocrlou_fitiq .

But discovering the 100m discipline was a proper eye opening moment for him.
Since then he developed amazingly in technique and speed, which resulted him being selected @britishobstaclesports to represent Great Britain in the 100m OCR European championship in Portugal, where he reached the Quarter finals.

And now we are nearly off to Sweden. So please help him to get there. Any donation is highly appreciated.

Finally made it to the top and down again.
Although faffed around a bit on the last two steps, it was my 2nd go in a row!

Not bad for a woman over 50. 😉 Super proud of myself!

The strength training with @deltafitnesspt is coming on well!

Running is hard and cruel!

Yes it is easy as you can just go out and do it, but it has massive challenges.

Running means pain, pain in your body, in most parts of your run as your knees and joint and any part of your body, which wants your attention, will@hurt at some point.
Physical pain I can manage and work through, but then there is the other side.

Running is cruel as you are on your own with your head and thoughts.
Yes you can listen to music and try and keep your thoughts occupied that way, but it is still you and your thoughts.
This part is even more difficult for me to cope with than the physical pain. Either I have the usual common, I’m not good enough or not fast enough, I’m going to die thoughts or my head is trying to deal with situations and events happen in my life. Decisions I have to make and don’t want to make, showing strength, when there is not a lot and just being on your own with your head.

So I don’t avoid running and especially longs runs, because of the physical pain, but because I don’t want to deal with my head!

Went out for a run this morning! Running is hard and cruel, but I did it and I do feel a bit better now! by @angryflamingoocr
