It’s been a little over a years since I started this blog. I will admit that most of 2016, I’ve not been great at keeping up with it. However, for 2017, I hope to change that.

The first post you will see in January will be a breakdown of my OCR calendar for the year. The full breakdown you’ll see next week, but the other side of this journey is properly documenting it through the blog with the hope of inspiring those other casual racers who are looking to try something new and get out off the couch!

The first thing you can expect from me: more blog posts. It is my goal to publish at least two posts per month, no matter what. So if you’ve read my blog and like what I have to say, then hopefully you’ll have more to like starting in 2017. Blog posts will go beyond just reviews of races (though I’ll continue those where I can). I will be expanding to stories of individual obstacles, specific exercise/workout regiments that will hopefully help you improve your OCR game.

Along with that, I’ll be launching two new blog series. The first, starting in January, will be From Casual to Competitor, a short run in which I hope to chronicle the differences I’ll be going through as a prepare to take on my first competitive OCR wave. The second, which will start in February, will be My Quest for the Trifecta. This one will be the obvious for the OCR fan as I tell the story of my push for my Spartan Race Trifecta. Yes, there are many around the world with several trifectas, but I want to show those other prospective Spartans what I specifically go through.

Overall, 2016 was rough for many, including myself. However, I am optimistic about 2017, and I look forward to the adventures that it brings.

So with that, I say Happy New Year!
