This weeks Fit Friend Friday is RJ Cuares. A newer athlete to the OCR scene in South East Asia we’ve been lucky enough to personally see RJ’s strength and fitness improve in leaps and bounds during training sessions at Sean’s Spartan Bootcamps and at the race in the Philippines at the start of 2020. Despite COVID-19 de-railing everyones year RJ continues to improve and we know she’ll be completing her 2020 trifecta goal with very few burpee penalties!

Your name: RJ Cuares

Age: 41

How did you first get in to OCR?

My kids joined spartan kids in 2017 and I posted on IG that someday, I’d like to be a Spartan just like them. It’s true what they say about making your goals public, you make it happen!

What is your favourite race or OCR experience?

The most recent one in Alviera in Philippines. I’m a weekend warrior and having to do penalty for only 2 obstacles is a big deal for me!

Favourite obstacle?

Rope Climb

Biggest achievement?

I’m in the process towards it: a Trifecta in 2020!

OCR must have item?

My arm sleeves.

Ice Cream!!

When is your next race and why did you choose it?

Singapore night race, Vietnam sprint or Putrajaya beast, whichever comes first post COVID-19

What is your workout mantra / favourite saying when things get tough?

No one promised this would be easy, but I promise you- it’s gonna be worth it
