Sunday Story…HYROX Simulation Race


I wrote about HYROX in general a few weeks ago. HYROX is a fitness race that includes several thousand meters of running, some sled pushes and pulls, some rowing, some wall balls, just a little bit of everything. It's a very accessible race to participate in. There are no really difficult skills to learn or perfect, and it's a way to test your fitness, or at least some parts of your fitness.


We've started HYROX training classes here. We currently have five a week, and you're welcome to join those. It's part of your CrossFit membership, or if you want, you can bring a friend, and we can make that happen as well.


What we're going to do on the 25th of July is have a full-scale simulation race. We will be hosting the events listed on the website. You'll run 1,000 m, you'll ski 1,000 m, you'll run 1,000 m, you'll push the sled at the prescribed weight, you'll run 1,000 m, and you'll pull the sled at the prescribed weight. All in all, it'll be a race like the one that is going to take place here in Dallas in November, or in any number of other cities. It's always the same race in all the cities.


Now, the difference here is that we will be running outside. Most of the work will be done outside. We may have to make some adjustments, but it's going to be a simulation race. If you would like to participate, we'd love to have you. Below is the code for event registration, as well as a discount code if you're a member here at CrossFit Odyssey. If you're not a member and you still want to participate, we'd love to have you, and of course, we'd love to have you as a member.
