HYROX NYC MENS PRO🗽
sponsored by getmnly 

1:08:25 - 1st u24 / 9th overall🥇

A blistering hot day on Pier 76 made this by far the most challenging hyroxamerica race for me. Despite every trick in the book bubblestheclowne gave me (sodium loading, pre-cooling, more frequent water intake, dumping cups on my head/back) I couldn't keep my body temperature or heart rate down. 

The venue was gorgeous & being on the pier during sunset, running laps looking at the NYC skyline was pretty awesome. But, the outdoor venue created many external variables in the race. Not a single excuse out of me. Everyone on the course was in the same boat. It just took a bit more grit and suffering to get it done. 

Big takeaways from my performance were that this was my 2nd fastest Pro HYROX time & total run time (32:52 - 12th fastest compared to men's pro field). I had my best sled pull split and solid splits for BBJ, Lunges, and Wallballs. I made some extra money in the roxzone (4:30 - 7th fastest compared to men's pro field) and felt strong in my transitions. 

I battled back-and-forth with flywithfitz the entire race. I appreciated this battle and the extra push Paul gave me. After we came out of the sled pull, he tapped me on the back and said "now let's go get these big dudes." It was game on for us and we sold out trying. I gave every ounce of effort I had in this race and am proud of that. 

Lastly a shoutout to the 11 other underdog_fitnessus killas that showed up and showed out in the Big Apple. Many took on their first HYROX and freaking smashed it. Thank you for the endless cheers and encouragement. Love you guys! Another thank you to bubblestheclowne for getting me race ready physically & mentally.
