404. Yaris Cruz on Puerto Rico, World Obstacle's OCR World Championships, and Winning MidWest OCR!

We had Yaris Cruz on the show once before while doing interviews at OCRWC in 2021, having her on again for her own episode was long overdue! Yaris as an athlete is known to be a force to be wreckoned with whether it be OCR, ninja, or even hybrid racing.  We discuss her background in sport before finding OCR (or lack thereof), the importance of mental health as an athlete, how her position as the vice president of Puerto Rico OCR Association has changed her perspective on the sport, her thoughts on World Obstacle's OCR World Championships in Costa Rica, and much much more! Also, in a time where many North American races are having their final events, there are some new ones just getting started!  Race Ready Obstacles has been building obstacles for races and selling quality training equiptment to people for years.  This year they hosted their first obstacle course themselves, MidWest OCR and Yaris took the gold! 0:00 – 5:54 – Intro 5:54 – 14:15 – Quick News 14:15 – 14:48 – Content Preface 10:40 - 1:17:43 - Yaris Cruz Interview 1:17:43 - End – Outro Next weekend we will hopefully have an athlete on the show to talk about their experience at OCRWC! ____ News Stories: Matt Kempson Married Daniel Liszewski Married Kris Rugloski Wins Barkley Fall Classic Again Camille Herron Wikipedia Controversy Grand Teton FKT Rejected Tickets Up On Sale for Boston Run Show and Boston Outdoor Expo World Obstacle and Dubai Police OCR Deka Atlas First Details OCRWC Prize Money Breakdown Ida Mathilde Steensgaard Wins Hyrox Stuttgart MidWest OCR Podiums MidWest OCR Bearded Challenge Podium 1904 Olympics Secret Link VR Gym Secret Link Graduation Speech Secret Link Convicted Criminal Secret Link Mobility Games Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 249.
