Ocr Talk

Remembering our Enya days in these hard times, we've decided to change the purpose of our podcast from obstacle racing discussion to something that can really help the people who are having a hard time in the world. Come take a walk with us, be relaxed, and ponder the universe.

Members of The OCR Report Team have a chat about random OCR topics while keeping themselves away from each other.  While long random chats like this may not be for everyone, if you're in need of enjoyable content for a long drive or long run, this is for you!

Jason and Anna discuss as much as they can without talking about COVID-19. Topics include: Savage Race new obstacles Gladiator Rock N Run last race Who is the OCR space? The OCR Report getting serious Tough Mudder 2020 Schedule The Spartan Ultra Series Okay, we'll talk about COVID-19

Anna and Jason cover 2020 new obstacles from Rugged Maniac, Toughest, and Battle OCR before getting into a bit of what can be expected at Battle OCR this year.

Anna and Jason catch up while talking about the latest happenings in Spartan and Tough Mudder.  Live video version here: https://youtu.be/EzNcTgqlLLw
