My goal is to race in the 2019 OCRWC in England this October, as an age-group athlete. This battle log is to keep track of my strategy and progress in getting there. Step #1: Qualify My target race is Black Ops on June 22/23. This is a 12-hour overnight obstacle course race with a 5.5K loop and some very specific rules. Strategy will feature in this, but that can be a focus after I have gained the needed fitness and technical skills. Last year I ran this and made 5 laps. This year I hope to make at least 7 laps; 7 laps in 11:08 hours would have been a qualifying time last year. 8 laps within 12 hours is my ideal result and would guarantee me a spot at world's. If anyone browsing here has thoughts or suggestions, I would love to hear them!
