  • v🍻 The Swift Half – Episode 264
    Mar 20 2026

    This week's pint-sized chaos delivers everything from OCR politics to Derby race drama, gym music meltdowns, and a global influencer showdown. Strap in.

    🏆 UK OCR Awards Prep

    Alan raids the Voom Nutrition factory for freebies, debates Sheffield parking misery, and nearly buys a Robin Reliant. Standard.

    🌍 FISO → UIPM Shake-Up

    96.2% voted to dissolve FISO. National federations now have until 2027 to join UIPM.

    🏃 Derby 10K… or 9.6K?

    A mis-marked turnaround means the course came up short. UKA confirmed it. Alan bought new Adidas shoes anyway.

    🛡️ Spartan Updates

    New "X" medals, ITABs, a fresh UK rulebook, and liquid chalk is OUT. Plus, WTM community awards voting chaos.

    🎶 Gym Music Licensing Madness

    Manchester instructors banned from using copyrighted tracks. Costs, consequences, and why your next class might sound like royalty-free elevator music.

    🎥 HYROX Influencer Games

    32 YouTubers. 16 countries. KSI representing the UK. No women invited. We discuss the optics, the opportunity, and the chaos.

    🌎 World Champs Qualification Changes

    Only winners get invites now. Birmingham gets a 6‑day HyROX mega-event. And Alan's wedding is 8 weeks away.

  • The Future of OCR: Should World Obstacle be Dissolved
    Mar 1 2026

    Alan Is joined by James and Becky as they dive into the big question facing British Obstacle Sports: should World Obstacle be dissolved?

    James and Becky broke down why the board backs the move — unified global governance, stronger funding pathways, and a clearer professional future for the sport.

    They tackled the big worries head‑on too, from autonomy and debt to how OCR would sit within UIPM, stressing that the sport's identity and culture stay firmly intact.
    Alan added his own perspective.

    The conversation also explored where British Obstacle Sports currently stands in its recognition journey and what collaboration with Pentathlon GB could look like.

    The episode wraps with how members can get involved: upcoming Q&A sessions, what to expect at the EGM, and how to cast their vote on one of the most important decisions in the sport's history.
