Obstacle Course Racing World Championships is next weekend! I'm excited and I figured what better way to build excitement on the show than to have one of the best OCR athletes in the world on to talk about it.

View a complete transcript of the show HERE. “The more things you can do that bring you joy and don't feel as much like training, I think the better.”—Nicole Mericle Last year alone, Nicole placed 2nd in the 2019 Spartan US National Series, 1st in the 2019 15k North American OCR Championships, 2nd in the OCR North American Championships 3K, 2nd at the 2019 Spartan North American Championships, 1st at the 2019 Spartan World Championships, and 1st in the 2019 Spartan Trifecta World Championships. Through it all, she has found her background in running and rock climbing has prepared her well for the OCR and Spartan events. However, she has had to work hard to develop the strength and mindset needed for all elements of OCR. Keeping her “mental game” in check is a big factor of Nicole’s training. If one thing is not working out for her, Nicole will approach her goals in another way. Being flexible, but keeping her overall ambitions in sight, has played a key part in her OCR career. Although road running was causing more injuries than it was worth, she was able to channel her passion for competition and running into something that worked for her, becoming an inspiration to everyone and a world-class athlete in OCR.
