Once again I find myself only days away from my favourite
race of the year…Nuclear Rush. This isn’t
just because this is my home team’s race.
It is due to this being the anniversary of my first ever OCR.
All of the experiences I have had in the last few years can
almost all be traced back to this date.
It is almost like the fixed point in time where my life began to really change.
It is when the idea of writing a blog began when I started
seriously training. Its also when my
relationship with Beating Bowel Cancer began.
It was shortly after this that Clinimed became aware of my
activities. Its where I began to meet my
OCR family.
Where I made some great
friendships with my fellow Nukes and members of our OCR family.
It really is where most of
this journey began!
Importantly it is also the first time since having my
operation that I put myself outside of my comfort zone. I had NEVER done anything like this before,
even before my op! I guess that’s what I
love about OCR. It’s the fact that it
pushes everyone that competes just far enough outside of their comfort
zone. It becomes an addiction for all
levels of fitness.
The real reason I hold Nuclear Rush in such high regards was probably best described in my blog last year. Its one of the first times I recall my son looking at me with such pride. A beaming smile watching his dad wade through a muddy bog!
This year I get to run Nuclear Rush with my wife and the following day run the Nuclear Rookies course with them both!
Looks like Rush 2015 could be my new special race....see you in the nuclear mud Saturday ;)
