Next Hyrox race: Chicago Pro Doubles

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

HYROX PRO SOLO DC RECAP: 1:27:23 (10 min PR)

Been battling cold symptoms for the past few days before the race but I knew regardless of how things could possibly turn out even worst case scenario that it would be a huge PR

Started off super conservative and about halfway through the row started experiencing a little bit of nauseousness/dizziness and ultimately faded the last 3 stations when the plan was to floor it for the rest of the race.. 3 minutes on farmers, 10 minutes on wall balls, and 7 minutes on lunges is completely unacceptable regardless of the circumstances but i gave it everything i had on the day and that’s something im proud of !

huge improvements in my running and station work were made so my main focus as of now is locking in the last 3 stations and then we have a totally different race ! Next up is Chicago pro doubles with my guy @eyeamkairo but until that time comes to hit the dance floor it’s back to work starting Monday ! by @mtxhybrid

A little over 2 months left until Hyrox DC and the train is on the tracks full speed ahead ! EVERYTHING is working across the board and this is by far the fittest I’ve been in my life and it’s starting to show more in my workouts, recovery, paces, etc. I’m looking forward to going into specific race prep when we’re 8 weeks out with what I’ve been able to build since Miami ! Looking forward to one hell of a race in DC ! by @mtxhybrid

Training update: everything is going well and the more and more I learn about this sport through trial and error the more I realize why things haven’t been going the way I’ve planned it. I made the necessary adjustments right after Miami and have a great feeling it’ll transition well into DC/Tampa ! Life is good, fitness is increasing, and the setbacks and turbulent journey made me more confident than ever ! I’m locked n loaded ! BELIEVE 🙏🏾 by @mtxhybrid

Second pro solo race in the books with a PR but I have no excuses and just gotta get better ! I’m in it for the long run and im committed. Next race is DC in September and then Tampa afterwards. Going into a huge training block for the next 5 months and using the data from Miami to attack what I’m weak at and also continue to build upon what I’m strong at. Getting it out the mud always makes the victory sweeter ! The journey continues and the pieces are coming together slowly but surely ! If you aren’t failing then your goals are too small or you aren’t trying ! Attitude is everything ! True character is who you are when things don’t go your way. by @mtxhybrid

Finished with a 1:09:31 and left hyrox DC with no regrets while going to war alongside my brother @chargedupcc ! Next stop is Miami in a few weeks for a pro solo race and I’m feeling very confident that it’ll be a great day with a big PR ! The build/journey continues and the training is working ! Love to anyone and everyone who is or has been apart of my journey whether you’ve known me for awhile or just meeting me.. thank you 🙏🏾

Finished my 2nd Hyrox solo race with a 1:29:52 and regardless of how I feel about the race I’m proud of myself. I was too conservative and the hand I was dealt wasn’t good on the lane I got for the sled push and it wrecked me up front. I walked away from Dallas with lessons learned but I walked away with even more wins ! Big S/O to my support system and coaches at RMR ! The fitness is there and is building more and more just waiting for the race where it all comes together and that just simply comes with experience ! DC is up next for the solo/relay and Miami for a doubles with one of the dogs or another solo ! P.S I plan on getting back to work immediately 😉 by @mtxhybrid

I believe in transparency so my wins will always be as loud as my losses ! My pro debut Hyrox race didn’t go as planned. I was on pace for almost half the race for my goal and the wheels ended up falling off and I just couldn’t shake back. The field was competitive and even had a couple elite 15 guys who are arguably the fittest athletes on the planet there that I got to race against. I jumped into the waters with real sharks and even though I didn’t meet my goal I didn’t drown and I’m proud of that. I know what I need to do and I’ll be back in action November 21-23 in Dallas stronger, faster, with an insane engine, and READY to throw down. I appreciate the love/support yall are my heart and now it’s back to the drawing board with my head held high and in good spirits ! by @mtxhybrid

Competed in the Hyrox Open North American Championships men’s relay in DC and walked away with 8th place overall with an official time of 1:03:15

All glory to God for the opportunity to compete in our first relay and to do it with and alongside my brothers ! Big S/O to our family, friends, and supporters that believe in us and came out to show love or even send a simple message ! Road blocks and hurdles were thrown at us whether it be personal, business, injuries, not being pleased with our level of fitness at the moment etc but we stayed locked in, showed up everyday, and let the chips fall where they may. Even though we aren’t happy with the results and last night didn’t reflect how fit we truly are we’re grateful that we made it to race day and from this point forward we will work/build and unlock insane levels of fitness ! by @mtxhybrid
