Today   Pretty Mike talks with Russ Blatt of OCR Buddy.   Mike and Russ discuss what got him into OCR and why he made the App you need.  OCR Buddy is a super cheap (1.99 lifetime membership) App that allows you to build your race schedule, communicate with your Buddies where you will be and set up racing together.  They spend allot of time talking about the app and how it works so I won't duplicate it here.  But something you should know is Russ donates the proceeds from the APP to local charities in New York.

Today we premiere a new show on the BeastNet,  Sober Spartans.  This show serves as an extension of the FaceBook Page:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/SoberSpartans/

Through our journey running OCR many of us have found that not only are we Spartans, but, we find that we are also on a path of sobriety and the race is an outlet for us.  Many guests will use their real names, some will use false names for anonymity.  If a guest has chosen to remain anonymous, please respect that and just listen.  We will not share names or stories of anyone but our own on this show.  

Today we hear some of the story of Amanda Kelley, founder of the Facebook group, Sober Spartans.  She shares her story any why she founded the group during this episode.
