I Failed My First HYROX

[@Z-bone64]

Bro, you didn't fail. You crushed it and you learned where you can improve. That's success, certainly not failure.

[@l-strange-023]

Completion is a win mate, Well in 💪🏼, great achievement 👍🏼

[@jskill_1]

Done my first Hyrox last weekend and 100% agree on those lunges that’s the station you wanna quit at.

[@celinecppr]

Thanks for sharing your experience 👏 cannot wait to see more achievements! I also appreciate the time you took speaking to me when I approached you there. What I tried to say is You and Lucy are the very reason I signed up and pushed through my first Hyrox prep + race this weekend as Doubles. Mycoach programmes took me there and I will defo rely on them again. Legends and daily inspiration 🔥

[@mycoachbenji]

Made my day this mate!! Thanks for coming to spend time and chatting and so glad the MyCoach program helped with the race, onwards & upwards 🚀

[@JasonChen-bq4hp]

The fact that you finished it in 70 minutes being a heavier athlete is amazing. I felt your pain with the burpees and lunges. Doing singles is such a different event and when fatigued, it becomes such a mental race and trying to remember tactics, when to rest, to breathe properly. You will do so well on your next one now that you completed your first singles.

[@severinetompsett9602]

You are so inspiring! There’s always an opportunity to learn and progress, and to me, you’ve done so well! No doubt you’ll continue to progress… amazing!

[@mycoachbenji]

Thanks ledge appreciate it 🙌

[@Chiggsey]

Absolutely smashed it Ben! The tick in the box is done! Rest recoup and you go again. Like i said to you on Saturday. You Lucy are legends. Keep doing what your doing you both inspire the future generation and even old guys like me to be the best version we can be.

[@mycoachbenji]

Appreciate thw kind words and support boss! That's all it is about, all of us gearing up to be a little better than we were yday 💙

[@Chiggsey]

@@mycoachbenji absolutely 100% 💪🏾❤️

[@darrenkelly7271]

You are a very inspirational chap. You and Lucy.

[@mycoachbenji]

Thanks boss 🙏🏼

[@aledhughes6000]

If you try ur best it's not failing mate good job 👏

[@ofiiiiiiii]

rest, recover, repeat 👏🏽 great effort from you, more Ws to come!!

[@mycoachbenji]

Thanks mate appreciate the support 🏆

[@nicolawebber3308]

Loved watching this as it was so real. After doing doubles I’m not sure I could do singles but I thought you smashed it!

[@mycoachbenji]

Thanks mate... if you apply yourself after doing doubles you could 100% do whatever you set out🙌

[@gmilbs]

My legs were burning just watching that hahaha well done!

[@B78B78B]

Amazing!!!! I participated in the women’s doubles on the Monday and was so sure I saw you :)

[@mycoachbenji]

Amazing work! You probably did, I was there Monday morning cheering all the women around and watched most of the day 🤝

[@ajcorless]

Smashed it mate! Inspirational!

[@mycoachbenji]

Thanks ledge 🙏

[@philipgreen9169]

You were in my wave and caught you up on the rower (I’m the short, bald, old man in bright pink 😂). As someone who has had asthma from birth, I use Rocket Fuel or a Fisherman’s Friend just before a race to keep the airways clear and breathe better. Good luck 👍🏻

[@mycoachbenji]

Top work mate, you where an animal out there! I will take a look at Rocket Fuel... I'll need it 🚀

[@bmc9672]

How it works the alpha fly for Hyrox? I have doubts to use it in my first competition. Stabilization? Thanks guy!

[@mycoachbenji]

It's essentially a running race with obstacles/ stations between, I prefer to go for a fast racing shoe for that reason matey

[@bob_o_baby826]

You have to be crazy to select Alphas over Vapors for Hyrox. The stack height makes hard cornering much more difficult, and the overall geometry of the shoe confers a disadvantage at pretty much every station, but especially when jogging in transition. Whenever you heel strike or dig your heels in, the shoe works against you. Worth mentioning that Vapors and Alphas are probably the least "grippy" supershoes and you feel it during the sleds.

[@mycoachbenji]

@@bob_o_baby826 It's all about what you feel is best for you dude... The sleds are 1/16th of the race, dont base your whole race around it, at the end of the day it's a running event with obstacles to overcome, pick the best running shoe!!

[@eartimevibes5994]

Thats one hell of a work out fuqq man, Theres no way id have finished that and i definitely would have been sick. In mine and everyone eyes thats a pass man you finished it. You smashed it and not to discredit anyone but i bet there were plenty of guys there who tapped out. Big up yourself man. 👌🏾

[@uzowantspz]

Well done mate- where did you get the shorts you are using for the race?

[@mycoachbenji]

Thanks mate... From MyProtein matey, link in description for the website and use code Benji which gives 10% off today.

[@patthorpe9559]

For a big lad that’s a great effort you looked to be running very well what are the splits, well done

[@mycoachbenji]

Thanks boss!

[@alessandrobaglivo6345]

Did u do the open or the pro? Before doing the pro world you suggest to’ try first the open?

[@Goose1594]

Top effort mate! Had the exact same experience myself. First solo and also had savage cramp on the tear drops (even though I had nailed loads of electrolytes before). Savage. Onto the next one 🫡

[@mycoachbenji]

Nailed it mate... tear drop cramp felt like running on legs with no knees! We keep moving chief🙏

[@marlenarybak4855]

I think you should be proud of yourself 💪, I know that feeling !! I love sport and CrossFit is my whole life ❤, every single day is a new beginning of my journey 🏋️, I promise you that next time you will get better and will achieve your goals 🏆🏆🏆 keep working hard and believe in yourself! Don't give up on your dreams ❤

[@jeanclaudefaenza]

What was your target time and results?

[@mycoachbenji]

In the description matey... target was 65 mins

[@flaviocoetzee1001]

Insane achievement! what’s the song’s name being used?

[@janeenright8450]

“Failed” and still finished. Still a huge achievement!

[@mycoachbenji]

Thanks mate 🙏

[@theultimateyou_]

Great vid & top effort lad!

[@mycoachbenji]

Thanks chief

[@kaireynolds3826]

What is the nose tape for?

[@mycoachbenji]

Helps widen the nostrils and improve airflow. Also helps me to remember to nasal breath more.

[@miharamsak3116]

participating is all that counts

[@melissanathan8377]

Awesome job, celebrate your failures!

[@Dimith23]

Time??

[@mycoachbenji]

In description matey

[@Dimith23]

No bad!

[@jordanclarke8571]

That coach was 100% a army PT I can tell one a mile off

[@skywalkies77]

Did I miss the time in the vid? Edit : Also, how is finishing a Hyrox failing? It’s fucking hard.

[@mycoachbenji]

1:10 finish time, my guy just missed putting the finish board clip on 🙏 The reason it's a fail to me is because I missed my target time, but your not wrong, it's all out war out there... loved every minute of it!

[@edshemming5406]

You win or you learn 👍

[@helene3]

Do you have asthma ?

[@TheLadc5]

Not sure how completing your first Hyrox in 70 minutes is failing. Also, unless I read your information wrong, how were you able to have your last run be your fastest, that's definitely backwards haha, I wish I could have done that. Like your training partners were saying, it was your first one at that time and zero experience.

[@bt9765]

Chaps, the fake modesty and self-imposed drama is a turn-off and just lame, frankly.

[@mycoachbenji]

Thanks for the feedback my mate… have a belter weekend 🤝
