“I was ready to overcome the pain and conquer the obstacles in my life.”

Most of my group got ahead of me, but I just had one goal that day… to finish.

“I began to push myself by facing all my fears and doubts head on!”

“Life is short, and it is better to live than to just exist.”

“If I continued I would run the risk of not being able to walk without a third knee surgery.”

“An athlete? Caitlin? Ha! Ummmm, no.”

“I began as a spectator, but now I’m a participator.”

“I realized I needed to take care of myself if I was going to take care of them.”

“Never, ever, ever, ever quit. This motto was put to the test in April of 2012.”

I am a 43-year-old type one diabetic that loves OCR because it engages my whole body, spirit, and mind.

I remember having so many doubts and fears about even succeeding at a single obstacle, let alone finishing the race!

My kids and my wife and my teammates are my inspiration, and I strive to always better myself for them. I want to be someone they want to talk about.

Tracy Jost is everything that is awesome about OCR. He’s a maniac on the course. He’s a great athlete and a total beast that almost always finishes with his elite belt, but…

My wife, Alicia, and I got involved with OCR in 2015. An obstacle race was on our bucket list, and Conquer The Gauntlet Wichita was the first OCR we signed up for.
