In this episode, we sit down with James, a visually impaired adaptive obstacle course racer, to explore his incredible journey into the world of OCR. We dive deep into his experience competing on the global stage at the Spartan Para World Championships in Finland, breaking down the specific demands of that brutal course. We also explore the vital, high-stakes dynamic between an adaptive athlete and their guide. James shares the story of how he found his guide for Finland and the immense trust required to navigate unpredictable terrain and technical rigs together at race pace. Whether you are a seasoned competitor in the adaptive racing community or stepping onto the start line for the first time, James\u2019s insights offer a brilliant look into the resilience, problem-solving, and teamwork required to succeed in this demanding sport. &amp;nbsp; If you have any questions about the show or would like to explore advertising opportunities, feel free to reach out to us at admin@ukocr.com. \ud83d\udc49 Learn more about UKOCR by clicking here\ud83d\udc96 Enjoy what we do?
