Birmingham Hyrox:
I talked my friend, @mark.dickson.running into doing the hyrox doubles with me at Birmingham and after doing 2 training sessions, he agreed! Whilst I'm waiting to have surgery on my achilles tendon and calf, we thought we would limp the runs and try to push the exercises!
Somehow, we managed to go sub 1 hour despite a comedy of errors and finished in tie 3rd in our age category. We weren't at the prize giving but got informed that the other team received the podium flags as they beat us by 1/100th of a second!
That's racing and we go again!
Im trying to keep fit by cross-training whilst I wait for my operation in Dec/Jan.

That is amazing!! Congratulations! I’d shudder to think what you could have done if you weren’t “limping” through the runs at 3:44 times. So good! Shaun and I are heading to Melbourne in December for@our 2nd one! It’s definitely not a fad here either. Sydney went of 1600 to 33000 from 2023 to 2025! Best of luck with the op, a speedy recovery and then see you out there Ed!
