Exercise Physiology Lecturer听Dr Becky Rendell, from the , competed in the Championships over the weekend.
The event, previously held in the USA and Canada, took place just outside London, with over 2,500 athletes from across the world听qualifying to compete.
Becky, one of the top female OCR athletes in the country, had qualified to compete in the Pro (Elite) competition in the short course race (3 km with 24 mandatory obstacles) and the standard course (15 km with 100 mandatory obstacles).
While the weather was fair, an early race start and plenty of mud and full water submersion obstacles meant everything was cold and slippery, making it a very challenging event.
The highlight of the week for Becky at her first World Championship was placing 16th in the 15 km World Championship race, out of 77 Pro International Women and ahead of the Age Group athletes.
She also placed 29th in the short course and 14th in the Pro women鈥檚 team relay event (running the technical rig section) with her teammates on the Nuclear Phoenix OCR team, being the first British lady/team over the line across all three races.
Highlights from the Championships will be featured in听Adventure and Trail Running: The Obstacle Course Racing World Championships on Channel 4 on Saturday 27听October at 05:55.
