In the year where there are two OCRWCs I figured it would be great to hear from someone who went to compete in both of them!

Ian Hosek has been a prominent member of USAOCR for a while now and he made the trip over to Belgium to compete in the first FISO OCR World Championships. More recently he competed in Spartan Race's OCRWC (man that's going to take some adjusting to) and took 2nd in the 3K, 2nd in the 15K, his men's relay team took 1st, and his coed team also took 1st!

We talk about the differences between the two events, how he feels about his recent success in Mammoth Lakes, his feelings on the Tough Mudder Infinity in Saudi Arabia, and much more!

Be sure to follow USAOCR on Instagram, and check out the last time Ian was on the show to talk about it!

This year may have had FISO's first OCR World Championships but we still love Adventurey's weekend long OCRWC event as well! The past couple of years we have had an episode before the event as a way to build up more anticipation for it, 2021 we had Veejay Jones on the show before event weekend, and last year we had Fran Chiorando on!

Of course there was the news that came out about Spartan Race's aquisition of the event so we figured that Adrian Bijanada would be great to both answer community questions and build some excitement up for what will assuredly be an excellent weekend!

We discuss what brought about this change, his role in the event weekend moving forward, the history of water obstacles in Adventurey's previous events, and much more!

Admittedly, we were unsure how the first FISO OCR Championships would go after their history of not being able to put on a world championship event for years. That being said the number of incredible athletes that showed up to Belgium to compete made this an incredible World Championship event!

When looking through the results Gian Maria Savani stood out as both the winner of the short course, runner up of the standard course, and an athlete that we didn't know as much about. We reached out to have him on the show to hear more about him and were thrilled to have him as this week's guest!

We discussed how he got into obstacle course racing, which athletes he looks up to, the importance of discipline, and how his races went. We also discuss some shortcomings of this event such as the overly complicated rule book, the continued lack of communication with prize money, there not being any drug testing, and

Be sure to follow Gian on Instagram and cheer him on as he takes on future events, like the upcoming Italian OCR Championship finals!

Many of the OCR community from back in the day remember Dustin Dorough! Fast talker, excellent motivational speeches, and tearaway shorts ring a bell? He's worked for Spartan Race, Terrain Race, Bonefrog, and more over the years so we start off briefly touching on his history in OCR. For more of an in depth discussion though we recommend OCRWC Podcast's episode with him here!

Much more recently Dustin completed an epic adventure journeying from the United Kingdom to Iraq on his motorcyle for a bunch of reasons! These ranged from getting attention from the Dakar Rally community, seeing a friend, and more!

We also have discussions about mental health since he has been very involved with helping many people over the years, is proudly neurodivergent, and he has had quite the near death experience.

We hope you enjoy this episode and consider following his motorcyle specific account here.

Spartan Race had their Kids World Championship in the Bahamas this year but there didn't seem to be much talk about it. Athletes regardless of their age work hard to do what they do so we reached out to one of the winners of the weekend!

Savanna Salinas won for the girls 12-14 age group and has a pretty impressive background in ninja! She completed her first half marathon at the age of 6 and her first triathalon at the age of 5! Despite these extensive accomplishments she remains humble and we were more than happy to have her on the show to talk about it!

This weekend saw the return of Bonefrog and we wanted to hear more about it! The winner for the women was Melia Ochsner so we quickly reached out to her!

We discuss the behind-the-scenes influence she has with the obstacles from American Ninja Warrior, her opinions on Star Wars (the newly released Disney+ shows and the OG movies), her last minute decision to signup for Bonefrog and her strategy for racing with friends - first lap for competition and the second lap is for fun.

We didn't realize it at first but we also had Melia on the show for a brief finish line interview at OCRWC's 100 meter competition last year if you'd like to go back and listen to that here!

We discuss her progression as an athlete, her full time job as a teacher, thoughts on trying a Savage Race, how she uses music in her training, the importance of racing happy, what races she has left this year, and much more!

Another episode giving some well deserved love to The Grit Games! Last episode we had Kris Rugloski on the show to talk about her experience and history with this event.

Austin Azar is an athlete that we have only met a couple of times and somehow only once on the show at OCRWC for episode 300 but we have heard great things about him over the years.

We discuss his recent victory at The Grit Games, his experience at the Spartan 3K in Palmerton, being one of the few athletes to reach 100 miles at WTM back in the day, what. he does for work, and more!

Also, if you want to see more of The Grit Games then watch the event's live stream!

Spartan didn't build much hype up around it, but the Spartan Pan American Championship was this weekend down in Mexico!

We invited Angel Quintero to be our guest on the show as the second place finisher in the 3K and the winner of the Beast the following day. There was a lot of talk about the lack of competition in Mexico but I wanted to have the chance to have Angel on the podcast to explain his thoughts on it!

We discuss his background in the sport, the races that meant the most to him over the years, his thoughts on the state of the sport now, hopes for the future of OCR, and of course his very successful weekend!

A huge thank you to Chriz Scherf for taking the time to be the translator for the interview!
