Day 1 - Open solo 2026 NYC HYROX

So many mixed feelings about this race. This was my second hyrox ever since I first competed last year in NYC!

My time from 2025 (1:23) given the fact that it was my first hyrox ever, the course set up as well as the conditions I wasn’t mad about my time; I went in with a very ambitious goal of hitting 1:10 last year just to realize that it’s not as easy as one might think it is. When I decided to finally run it back this year my only goal after signing up for open singles was to beat my time from last year and trying to go after that 1:10 again lol!

20 mins before the race @j_barnola and I decided to check out my splits from last year’s race and noticed how I messed up on my runs - the times did not make sense lol, most of my runs were 6 mins and change. Given the fact that we were just talking about that 20 mins before taking off on Saturday one would think that I would pay more attention to my laps this time around. Guess what? I DID IT AGAIN 😂😂😭

I still ended up getting a 2 min PR but if I didn’t fuck up on 4 of my runs by doing an extra lap oh boi would I have gotten close to that 1:10 goal time.

Overall had a great experience, loved the course this year and had great time cheering on people and throwing down some Kona’s afterwards.

Word of advice: watch your laps - don’t be like me 😂
