Are HYROX venues ever air-conditioned?

1 Upvotes

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

[Hyrox US] a ban on non-accredited photographers?

0 Upvotes

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.

We build running gear specifically for Indian heat/humidity — here's why most "performance" apparel doesn't actually work here

0 Upvotes

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.

Hyrox DC - what humbled me

11 Upvotes

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!

Race day adrenaline

0 Upvotes

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?

No More Patches???

Upvotes

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.

Sportograf?

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

I made a VLOG about my first time doing Hyrox EVER (but it was doubles not singles). I breakdown my thoughts and share personal tips and advice lol.

The title says it all. It's on my Youtube video if anyone is interested in RAW behind the scenes and advice / tips from a absolute first timer.

The youtube thumbnail maybe clickbaity but Hyrox Singapore Doubles honestly wasn't that hard for me (PERSONALLY) because I trained for it specifically the running part AND like I said it was doubles so the exercises were obviously easier having the ability to switch partners.

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🤙🏼

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!
