London Olympia, 4 weeks ahead of schedule, as already booked Cardiff Hyrox ,my first event since starting training and wow what an experience, Olympia didn't disappoint, amazing venue and course, although I made mistakes, which cost me a 7 minute penalty, by going in to the wall balls too soon. So first event completed in 1:12:59 seconds, then the penalty, amazing result. I learnt some lessions, I struggled with the Sled pull and in the final station of the wall balls, pushing my HR upto 180!. My runs were exactly where I wanted them to be 4:00 min per 1k, meaning I was one of the quickest runners in my age group.Â
Two more events booked and to go, Cardiff end of May and Birmingham in October, with hopefully a mixed doubles event in Dublin, with my long time suffering and also new to hyrox partner Toni.
