Nice evening to hit the trails and work on some OCR specific moves.  Focus on trail running and grip strength.

Disclaimer given and off we went.

Quick warmup in the parking lot of the usual – SSH, IW, Windmills, and other stretches.

Run to Allison Park. do some hangs, pullups, and monkey bar crossing. Explain different monkey bar techniques.  Do some parallel bar traverse and 5 pullups.  Rinse and repeat 2 more times.  Hit the trails from Allison Park stopping every 3-4 minutes to do some form of exercise to allow the 6 to catch up – burpees, merkins, LBC’s, SSH, etc.  After hitting the trails back into Allison Park for one more trip across the monkey bars and then run back to the YMCA.  With about 10-15 minutes left YHC explained the spear throw, heavy carries, and rope climb.  PAX worked on these obstacles before finishing up for COT.

Announcements – upcoming OCR Races – Spartan Sprint April 9th and 10th, Battlefrog Charlotte April 23rd, MudRun April 30th.

Was great to get out this evening and lead the PAX in some OCR training.  OCR is one of my passions and love being able to share some techniques so that all PAX can be better on the obstacles.  We ran just over 4 mile with most of it being on the trails.  Thanks to all who came out and i hope you are a little bit better than when you showed up and have a better understanding of OCR.
