They need a Bergen run; pick a weight.

I assume in Hyrox they don’t have weight categories like in Rowing? This is basically Crossfit under another name/format isn’t it?
@Sowler what’s the ‘Walt’ cohort like? i.e. guys who think they’re Ant Middleton. I suspect most people don’t realise Ant & Foxy have bulked-up quite a lot since they got out & became celebs.

The real good crossfitters apparentky say it’s a running race
And the runners triathletes say it’s a CrossFit comp.
The bigger you are the more power you have … ish
The lighter you are the faster you run… ish.
If your crap at either that’s fine… just get some peds!
Blackpool is a dive !

People really don’t understand the effect all this has on teenagers.
It was on this forum that I “got” the impact on teenagers in athletics, but it’s in real life I’ve seen the effect on ’normal’ kids and it’s the same or sometimes worse.
Far from solving the insecurities of teenage girls, this generation, we’ve replicated it onto the boys who think they have to be shredded to have value.

No weight categories but being a fucking unit IMO isn’t going to help you that much as its more weight to lug around on the run and the average hench gym bros don’t do cardio.
I’d argue its way more a running race and I’m definitely more at the runner/tri end than a crossfitter!
Contrary to the pics not everyone is a shredded beast. Most people we interacted with were more than friendly. It did look like a Represent 247 convention though! 
@BenW Guilty for the no top here. Its indoors, no airflow, I hate a top clinging to me and get sweat rash after about 40 mins in a soaking top. No roids here though. Plus it looks better for the obligatory sled pull pic

It must be minging with sweat, if you all have your tops off. A bit homoerotic too if you ask me

They’re all too busy looking at themselves to be eyeing up each other.

That’s actually a very valid point
If you asked some of the computers would you rather win the whole thing? Beating hunter ( ignoring the prize money ) and getting on the top step !
No too obviously or

As cheesy as it might sound, many of us are in it for the journey, the challenge, experience and some type 2 fun. Anything else, and we’d be posting on Socials for all the world to see rather than fairly anonymously here.
Why did you do AACC for example?

I guess it depends on your target demographic.
I have several friends who’s rides runs swims rows hyrox efforts are on face book before they have finished
Most of my FB friends CGAF what training I’m doing … ever.
One who I class as a friend after a paticulary good run “ couldn’t connect to strava” I thought he was going to burst into tears ?!?
He seemed quite distraught to be honest.
In 2019 somebody literally said “that’s a great ride but I find it a touch suspicious that it’s not on strava” lol.
