There’s one race that I have done every year since its inception, and I know I’ve mentioned it before: Mud Ninja. The Mud Ninja is a local race here in central Ohio, and it’s one that has gained a lot of fans over the years: American Ninja Warriors Michelle Warnky…
Two days ago, I did something I haven’t done before: completed my second OCR in less than a month. Usually I have more time off between my races (my next one, for example, isn’t until the end of July and the 2017 Mud Ninja race), but this time I had…
Everyone who is into obstacle course racing knows about the stories of Tough Mudder – the challenge, the now-legendary obstacles, and the camaraderie of the event are all a big part of what OCR is all about. Lots of races have tried to emulate the culture of Tough Mudder, and maybe…

In all my hubbub about this whole cold shower thing I’ve been doing, I almost forgot about the other experiment that I’ve been doing of late to get in better shape for life. It wasn’t something I particularly planned to do, or that I thought through much. No, I pretty…
A few days ago, I mentioned how I was going to start off on the Wim Hof program to adopt cold showers in my life. The reasons for this are many, but until today I don’t think I really thought about the emotional reasons as well as the physical. But…
Unless you were on my swim team when I was growing up, something that most people don’t know about me is that I may be the world’s biggest cold-water wuss. It’s true. Getting into the water when it’s anything but a tepid bath or warmer is one of the most…
