First solo HYROX PRO: DONE. 🥹🏁
Official time: 1:37:54
Age group: 30–34 Women
Ranking: 49/82
Did I want to be closer to 1:30? Absolutely. Am I still proud AF of myself? ABSOLUTELY! I committed to something and saw it through. SOLO.
And doing HYROX solo vs. doubles? Two VERY different experiences. In doubles, when you need a second to breathe, your partner is still working. You’re still making progress.
Solo? You stop. The race stops. Every second you’re resting is another second on that clock.
The sleds took WAY more out of me than I expected. I could move them, but that sled push was TAXING.
And while we’re discussing adversity…I had about 7 nip slips. 😭
Particularly during the sled pulls and burpees. So here’s some free HYROX advice: STRESS-TEST YOUR RACE OUTFIT.
Run. Jump. Burpee. Pull. Bend over. Do ALL THE THINGS.
I thought i would be okay because I'm in the Itty Bitty Club but cute is not enough. Please learn from my ti***es.
Oh, and I did this entire race on DAY TWO OF MY PERIOD.
My period literally showed up the DAY before HYROX. And my ladies KNOW what Day 2 can be like. The fatigue alone had me questioning how this was going to go.
So the fact that I pushed through 1:37 of running, sleds, lunges, burpees, rowing, skiing, carrying and wall balls while my uterus was also participating in an endurance event of its own?!
THAT is a win for me. But my biggest win was MY RUNNING.
Running has historically been one of my weakest areas, and I’ve worked SO hard to improve it. My average was 6:29/km including the Roxzone, and my fastest individual 1K was 5:35.
ME?! Running a 5:35 kilometer in the middle of HYROX?!
Yeah. I’m taking that one. 😂👏🏾
I wanted 1:30.
I got 1:37.
But I also raced solo. On Day 2 of my period. Improved tremendously on something that used to be one of my biggest weaknesses. Found out exactly where I need more work. And finished what I said I was going to do.
So yeah…
I’m proud of me. 🥹
I have the receipts showing me exactly where those seven minutes are hiding.
Next time, (will there be a next time) 👀 I’m coming to collect. 😏🏁
