What's the wildest item you've ever packed for a race? From practical to peculiar, join us on Accountability Corner as we hilariously unpack our OCR race essentials. Morgan Maxwell, Chris Shipley, and Darren Martin share their must-haves, from race kits to Shipley's ingenious "bottle bath." We also talk about Mo's upcoming Croatian adventure and the marvels of traveling with gear—expect laughs, practical tips, and some seriously unconventional packing advice.

Next, we switch gears to pre-race preparation, diving into the nitty-gritty of what really counts on race day. From the perfect footwear and multi-functional tape to the all-important hydration strategy, we cover it all. We discuss bananas and gels, and even get into the benefits of nasal decongestants and neoprene layers for cold races. This segment is packed with practical advice to help you streamline your pre-race routine without getting bogged down by too much gear.

Looking ahead, we explore the future of OCR training centers and the exciting prospects they hold. Imagine a 3k obstacle tour with venues like Fortitude Fitness and The Playground, providing top-notch training and events. We brainstorm innovative race formats, discuss grassroots involvement, and even throw in some light-hearted banter with our best (and worst) attempts at accents. Whether you're a seasoned OCR athlete or new to the sport, this episode promises to keep you engaged and entertained.
