I have been heavy ever since my sophomore year of High School, when my metabolism changed, but my eating habits didn't. I weighed 200 lbs. at Graduation. For my height of 5'8", I was supposed to be around 165.
3-4 weeks after the surgery, I was back on solid foods again. For Thanksgiving, I was still on pureed foods so what I did was I took mashed potatoes and gravy and mixed in minced up turkey. It looked like cat food! But it was SO GOOD!
This was my 1st OCR. It was a "Tough Mudder". It happened on 17 April 2016 at Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, CA. It was the Half Mudder, so it was ONLY 5 miles! Lots of running/walking! You notice the GoPro on my head? Well, I had just gotten it and didn't really read through the directions very well. I got the Start of the run and the first hill and that's it! Somehow, I had managed to shut it off! Needless to say, but I was really pissed!
The pictures below is of my nephew and I at a 5K Mud Run in June 2016. Again, you see the GoPro. This time I read the directions....but I still didn't get ANY footage! I was livid!
So, now my plan is to do the Spartan Tri-Fecta in 2017! The Tri-Fecta is a Sprint (3-5 miles), Super (8-10 miles) and a Beast (12-14 miles) that you have to complete in 1 calendar year. They also have an Ultra Beast, where you do 2 Beasts back to back. You get a nice big medal for that one! In May, after I leave Croatia, I'll be heading to the London area to do 3 races. A Nuclear Race, the Sprint, and a Mud Monsters Run.
They have numerous other OCR's that people do. I will be looking into some other ones. This is my tentative schedule for next year....
