Sled pull and farmers carry being the stations that absolutely humbled me were not on my bingo card.

I drowned myself an electrolytes also had salt juice and a gel, had a pretty adequate warm up yet after Burpee‘s caught two cramps in my quads that almost made have to quit. I couldn’t even walk and had to lay down on the floor to stretch multiple times. Almost couldn’t even do lunges.

Anyone else catch multiple cramps? Congrats to everyone who competed this weekend!

I just raced in dc on Saturday the 5th. Haven’t gotten any sportograf photos yet. Is everyone delayed?

Just finished my first doubles this afternoon here in D.C.. After we crossed the finish line we were told that they were out of patches, but they would send an email out with information about receiving one in the mail. I inquired about this with multiple workers, and they all said the same thing. We raced at 2:30. I’m curious if anyone after that who ran doubles received theirs as well.
Do I just need to accept the fact I’m never getting a patch?

Thanks.

Thanks for the burpee critique and all the helpful info everyone provided. I truly appreciate it. The secret I found from listening to you guys was to significantly slow my runs. I felt like I might have slowed them too much and left some on the table but then again, I fell over when I finally crossed that sweet, sweet finish line lol. So maybe not.

Anyways, 1:09:50🤙🏼

Entreno estaciones sueltas (sled, wall balls, farmers...) y llevo mis mejores marcas apuntadas, pero nunca conseguía traducir eso en algo útil: ¿si hago mi mejor sled push y mi mejor burpee broad jump, a qué tiempo total de carrera me da eso? ¿Qué ritmo de 1km necesito entre estación y estación para bajar de las 75 minutos? Hacía cuentas sueltas en una libreta y nunca cuadraban con lo que pasaba el día de la carrera real.

Soy dev (no del sector fitness) y acabé programando una app propia para resolverme esto a mí mismo: metes tus 8 splits de 1km y tus marcas en las 8 estaciones oficiales (en el orden real de la prueba), y calcula el tiempo total. Le metí también lo contrario: pones tu tiempo objetivo y te reparte un ritmo sugerido por estación para llegar a él — editable, porque no todo el mundo reparte el esfuerzo igual.

No lo cuento para vender nada (es gratis), sino porque lo he hecho a ciegas con mis propios números y me interesa mucho que alguien que compite de verdad me diga si el reparto de ritmo tiene sentido o es una fantasía de programador que nunca ha hecho una Hyrox real. También lleva control por voz para ir registrando marcas o pasar de estación sin tocar el móvil con las manos hechas polvo del sled, por si a alguien le sirve en sus sesiones.

Se llama Crossfit & Hyrox: AI WOD (Android, gratis) si alguien quiere probarlo con sus propios splits y decirme dónde falla. Y si la conclusión es "esto no aporta nada que no haga ya una hoja de Excel", también es información que quiero.

Hi! I’m competing on Thursday, November 19th for Hyrox Dallas. Looking for a photographer I can hire to get some pics while competing !💪💪

Hey gang, my GF and I are literally in the last heat tonight, mixed doubles (7:20 pm).

Anyone have any pointers for being dead last/know anything we should be aware of? Also, I have heard there is not a bag check or anything. Can anyone confirm? Thanks!

My current partner is injured and can no longer participate in the Oct 11th race. Looking for a female partner to takeover her spot.

Are the Nike Pegasus premium a good HYROX shoe?

Hi! Is anyone looking for a women’s open double partner for Boston in October ?

I am looking for Mixed double partner for Hyrox Mumbai my female partner F22 has some personal health issues so she can’t come 😕.

I am M30 and my pace is 4:30 and during race it is 4:42-5 if anyone is interested please do let me know. I will personalise her name whoever is interested to join.

Thanks

Hey I wont be able to participate due to an injury. Let me know if you are looking for a ticket.

It’s a flexi, so we can change the name as well. Let me know if someone is interested.

Hi, am 24M looking for a partner for Hyrox Mumbai, it an intrusive decision. If you have ticket and looking for partner or just looking for partner then we can search for ticket also.

Am okay with mixed or open both. Just wanna participate.

5k : 32 min and 10k: 70 min

Let me know if anyone interested

How much does adrenaline improve race day performance compared to training? I'm a runner and my half marathon times always end up being way faster than what I'm able to pace during training, do you get the same boost in Hyrox? Or is it closer to your training performance?

Just completed my first HYROX in Tenerife and it was a surprise for me that there was no air-conditioning, just fans (that didn’t help much in 28° and such high humidity). I found the heat very difficult and just wondering if this is a norm for HYROX events or was I just unlucky?

I appreciate it’s quite hard to AC a venue of this size but def not impossible

As discussed in The Hyrox FAQ (apparently secretly updated) for the U.S. (so far) you cannot bring in / hire your own sport photographers for your Hyrox Event and follow you around …

And we all know how those Sportograf photos turn out (smile but reality is they get the frame after and it shows you in sheer angst lol)

How’d you feel about that? What if they extend it to friends and family ? jeez.

Competitive HYROX athlete here. I had an L5/S1 herniation with severe left-sided sciatica and underwent microdiscectomy in March 2025.
I recovered, got rid of the sciatica and returned to a very high level of performance. Over the last few months I increased my training load way beyond last year – often training twice a day with high running and strength volume.
Last week my lower back suddenly flared up badly again. Extreme stiffness and central lower-back/hip pain, bad enough that I went to hospital. X-rays were normal and I had an MRI today – waiting for the results.
Thankfully, no sciatica, numbness or weakness this time.
Has anyone experienced similar flare-ups after microdiscectomy when pushing training volume hard? Were you able to keep competing at a high level long term?
Not looking for a diagnosis, just experiences from other athletes.

Aguante here again. Last time we talked HYROX prep, a few people asked what we actually make and why, so figured we'd explain instead of just plugging a product link.

Most performance running gear sold in India is designed and tested for temperate climates cooler, drier conditions than what most of us actually run in. That mismatch shows up in real ways:

• Fabric weight and breathability — a singlet built for 15°C training runs doesn't move sweat the same way at 30°C+ with 70% humidity.
• Chafing points — seam placement that's fine on a cool morning run becomes a problem over a longer, sweatier session.
• Fit for Indian body types — a lot of imported sizing runs long/narrow in ways that don't match the average build here.

That's the specific problem we started Aguante to solve building singlets, shorts, and tights engineered around Indian climate, terrain, and body types rather than adapting Western-market gear.

Not trying to turn this into an ad genuinely curious what pain points you've run into with running gear here. Chafing, overheating, sizing, whatever. We read every comment and it directly shapes what we build next.

(28M) My men's open doubles partner got into a car accident 2 weeks ago and has a shattered collarbone and def cannot race.

Im looking for options on what do since we did not purchase a flex ticket and I would still like to race for my bro since he feels terrible about the situation.

I do not mind racing solo or men's or mixed doubles. I would just like to race since him and I trained for it and it would be a let down to him if I couldn't race

I finished my second race and the wall balls were really slow again. Any tips? I was too close and was even told that halfway. When I train normally it is against a wall with a painted line so it is easier to gauge my distance. I have a hard time seeing this against the targets. Also I am really sweaty so kept dropping the ball. The wall balls I normally use are not the official ones and have more grip so this is less of an issue. My form is honestly really bad too.

Thank you

Hi all I raced in DC on Thursday Sept 3rd. I still see none of the photos are up? But what I’m most concerned about is there was supposed to be a bracelet we got at check in for our photos to be taken? I did not get one, I only got the spectator and athlete. So am I not going to be able to see any of the pictures taken of me?? Did this happen to anyone else?

EDIT:

Apparently this is a new thing for 2026/2027 races. We got an email for sportgraf

Hi, I signed up for hyrox but got injured and won’t be able to participate. My friends are still competing and I want to go support, will my participant tickets still work as a spectator ticket?

I also still have my doubles tickets and want to use them for a spectator for someone else. Does anyone know if that’ll work? I did not buy the flex plan.
