If you are a data geek and like me becoming a HYROX geek... found this on Medium and loved it https://medium.com/@vladmatei432/hyrox-and-data-science-insights-into-fitness-racing-6f12217ef2a8

At HyRox Birmingham today, I set a PB, only by about a minute but still a PB! What an epic day! I spent the morning watching others race, around lunchtime I raced and then for the next 8hours I worked as a volunterer at the event, initially in charge of the warm up area and then towards the end as a wall ball judge #NoRep 🤣 I got to briefly catch up with @Thomas Collins and meet @Rob Fell which was great. I may get home by 0100……

I did my first Hyrox on Sunday in the men’s doubles. We wanted to get sub 1:30 and managed to do it in 1:13:07. During the race I felt like I was going to be sick on the third run and sled pulls but lucky that passed by the burpees and I felt strong going into the last 3 stations and runs. A few lessons learned that you can’t rely on just eating breakfast and racing in the afternoon and don’t let the nervous energy get the best out you. It was a great experience and already looking at booking my next one!

Final 30min workout done - a mini Rox of ski, row, burpees, lunges and farmers walks. but…. Am I ready? Not as ready as I told myself I would be… #Lesson Am I excited? Abso-effing-lately!! Am I gonna work hard and sweat lots? Oh yeah!!! Bring it on!!!! I’m looking forward to meeting some of this crew too.
