🏁HYROX DEBUT DOUBLES ..
…
First HYROX in the books & coming from a weightlifting/CrossFit background, I was ready for a new challenge.
So grateful to have shared it with my amazing doubles partner Elysia, also her first HYROX and part of my CrossFit fam - what a partnership 👑👑🔥
🤍 We were unable to attend any simulations but consistent hybrid training + solid research and prep meant we finished penalty-free (huge win for first timers! - I was expecting atleast some). 🙌🏼
We were chasing a 1:30 finish, but calf cramp hit me hard late in the race and cost us time — cue trackside drama 🥴 🦵🏼…
We crossed the line at 1:40 with mixed emotions… frustrated but so proud of what we achieved. On reflection after these last couple of days, the frustration has gone & the actual achievement is sinking in!
I also proved to myself that I am actually fit enough to do this race and for that grateful. Determination & focus seems to be a strength of mine. It certainly helped me get through to the end whilst suffering with a calf cramping. “At your highest moment, be careful. That’s when the devil comes for you.” - Denzel Washington ✨
Big lesson learnt: proper recovery matters. Even when movement is my medicine 💊 I just need to get my calf right now, as it seems to have fallen out with me - ooops 🫣
We go again, going to get another smashed in 🚀
