Scott Ralitz

I take the phrase, "Be all you can be!", to heart! It's not about competition with others as it's about being 1% better than last week; physically, emotionally and spiritually. I haven't always pushed myself, but I have seen areas in my life that I haven't excelled. Being active in OCR events since '17 has lit a fire in me to press on with skill and passion.

I can't say I love running like I did when younger, but it plays an important part of my training. Living in snowy Wisconsin, my outdoor training limits me, but as soon as possible, I'm running (or using my bicycle to commute 8 miles to work). While I usually work 45 hours/week, I can zip into the local highschool's fitness center. I have learned take advantage of what time I have and use it wisely. It doesn't matter if I 'feel' like working out; keeping active gives me more energy!

This is the first year I haven't signed up way ahead of time for a Tough Mudder or Spartan run, but I would like to help motivate others to join my team by offering a 'scholarship'‼️ I have found the hardest part of running in a 10 mile OCR is not training, but getting a team that's willing to step out of their comfort zone. The ones who do, find how satisfying and even FUN it can be. (I have learned NOT to open up with information about "Electric Shock Therapy is one of the obstacles) 😉
