Here are my thoughts on HYROX, whether you want them or not (:

First and foremost, I’ve been in the CrossFit space for 13.5 years. I’ve competed in a bunch of smaller, local competitions and also bigger competitions like Fittest of the Coast. I've been to the CrossFit Games, Semifinals events, Masters Fitness Championship, etc. And I can honestly say… not a single CrossFit event compares to HYROX. The vibe is unparalleled.

1. The race itself was fun as hell. Who would’ve thought I’d have a smile on my face while running a total of 5 miles and working out for 90 straight minutes? Certainly not me.

2. The logistical planning that goes into this is wild to me. 7,000 people racing on Day 4 alone and there is zero confusion on where you need to be and when. Everything was so organized. It was insanely impressive.

3. HYROX’ers are SO much nicer than CrossFitters, volunteers included. I said what I said. IYKYK.

4. It doesn't feel like 5 miles. I would have suggested not doing the math, but I did it for you. Sorry😂

5. I genuinely thought I’d be one and done. I was wrong. Very, very wrong. Definitely not one and done peep👀 I totally get the hype and I will absolutely be racing again… BUT I’d still pick a barbell over a run every day of the week 🥰

@lilikoi_christy & @natashablankslate - Thank you for letting me crash your doubles ticket. I had so much fun!! It was an added bonus to do my first race in one of my favorite cities with my favorite littles yelling for me the whole time! Thanks for hanging with them @eamon.coyne. Love you.
