BattleFrog Atlanta II – If It’s Raining This Must Be Atlanta – Race Review

By |November 18th, 2015|

If it's raining, this must be Atlanta! For the third Atlanta race in a row, there was rain on Friday night into Saturday. And for the second race in a row, it was on top of already rain saturated ground. But there was a difference...for me anyway...the rain and humidity during the week caused my tent to feel like a soggy pretzel with not-cleaned-yet t-shirts tossed in the corners...soaking up pools of condensed water.

Behind the Scenes: BattleFrog Build Atlanta – Getting to Play on the Obstacles!

By |November 12th, 2015|

Most obstacle course racing (OCR) builds have one simple rule...outside the basic safety rules...and that is 'don't play on the obstacles'. Play, of course, can be defined many ways, but short of going to trial over it, they mean trying them out. Mostly because they may not be finished....which can be very embarrassing if you pull down an incomplete obstacle while you're supposed to be putting up barriers somewhere else.

Are We Expecting Too Much From Our Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) Events?

By |November 10th, 2015|

Personally, I used to spend a lot of my time Indoors...but that was before obstacle course racing (OCR) came into my life. Now I spend an inordinate amount of my time Outdoors. Building courses, volunteering at races and running events. Why? Because OCR events happen Outdoors...of course!
