We saw you’ve been competing in the Spartan Ultimate Team Challenge on NBC, can you share a little about that experience? As the sport of obstacle course racing gains popularity it's truly the community, with so many positive life stories about overcoming adversity, that makes our sport special. Having full glycogen stores is key and I go right to the source with Tailwind to fuel my body. Why is Tailwind so ideal for OCR's? OCR demands focus and balance between all aspects of fitness, especially nutrition. I went on to win the Spartan Race world championship on my fourth official race in 2015 and have competed as a professional for two years now. This development, as well as years of training on military style obstacle courses such as the Darby Queen and Nasty Nick throughout Ranger and Special Forces training, are what really made it a seamless entry into the sport. In 2014 I was a member of the Army Orienteering team which helped to develop off-trail running through the woods, having to break brush for much of the race to save time. Our team captain Liam Collins contacted me after taking second place in the 2015 Best Ranger Competition. How did you get into OCR and how long have you been competing? I started Obstacle Course Racing in 2015 when I was recruited onto the All-Army Sports OCR team. Throughout training and racing Killian uses Tailwind Nutrition, and we asked him a few questions about being a competitive Obstacle Course Racer and how he uses Tailwind to help him reach the finish line ahead of the competition. When he's not competing in OCR (Obstacle Course Racing), he's busy being a father, husband, active member of the CO National Guard, Special Forces, and 2016 Army Best Ranger. Currently Killian has been seen competing on the Spartan Ultimate Team Challenge with his team, the Commanding Officers. We had the recent opportunity to chat with Tailwind athlete and 2015 Spartan Race World Champion, Robert Killian.
