OCR... more than running

 Everyone said “You must be crazy!” while they were shaking her heads. But this wasn’t new for me and, yes, I have to admit, I’m crazy! For this Xletix I had to cross the country. The event was 600km far away from my home. Sorry Greta, I know it’s not very eco-friendly, but I had already heard a lot about this event and only very good things! And so I had to go there! Okay, I only have participated at 3 Xletix but on many, many other OCRs. And so I think that I can quite allow myself a judgment. The Xletix in Grömitz are one of the top ten event I have participated! But it was sure one of the harder runs too! The sand was an obstacle in itself. Not the whole track but enough of it we were running at the beach. The scenery was extremely beautiful: The sea, the beach, the sun …. Very nice to look at! I started at 9:20 with the first wave. Not at least because I had to drove home at the same day. We started with the obligatory warm-up. After that we started the track. I ha...

 Sometimes you have to do it a second time, if the first wasn’t great enough!  Looking back, the first Xletix in 2016 were not good! The location (a public park) wasn’t good enough for OCR. At that time we had decided not to come back. But they looked for a new location, and so we got back! Back to Xletix and it was fantastic! You can see me at 00:47. I’m the guy with the flag! ...

Since my first OCR challenges and the knowledge that I’m addicted to OCR, I’ve tried to find some more OCR-friends. The more we are, the better will be the fun! Sure, I was asked and I told my working colleagues all about this adventure. But you can not explain everything - you have to experience this yourself! So we booked this Xletix challenges.  For copyright reasons, this video has no music. Ask me.
