In our first full episode of the Coach Pain Experience, Coach and I talk with OCR athlete Justin Hammond about keeping your eyes forward and not worrying about what’s behind you.
Justin trains under Coach Pain, and is consistently on the heels of the top competitors. One issue he has been facing is being too concerned about the racers behind him, which has led to some less than desirable finishes at recent races. Coach talks about how to keep your eye on the goal in front of you, not only in your race, but in life as well. He talks about training to achieve your goals and takes a second to talk to Justin’s wife about her contribution to his success.

In this episode Heather talks to Joe DeSena, owner of Spartan Race. Joe shares some news with us that hasn’t been put out officially from Spartan Race yet.
Joe explains how and why they were selected to host the U.S. National OCR Championships in Florida. He shares additional details about what Spartan Race brings to the table for the race and what their plan is for the race. Unfortunately, he wouldn’t tell us who the Race Director or Course Designer will be, that information is being held Top Secret till the race in April.
We talk about his goal of getting OCR into the Olympics. I accidentally gave Joe the idea for scales for the bucket brigade, good luck everyone who will now have to be sure that they full their buckets past the holes.
Lastly, I ask Joe about Shirtgate and he had a pretty great answer. I didn’t expect the answer or the reveal that he had on the show. You will have to listen to the end to hear this one!
