Melbourne 2024: Over and Done! ☑️
First international race on the other side of the world.
Wow, what a shock!
I’m so grateful for the opportunity to race here. At the start of the year, this was one of my target events, aiming to race here and achieve sub 1 hour 10 mins!
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the plan today.
I feel like Manchester was probably my best shot this year so far.
But what I love about Hyrox is the community — the huge effort from everyone, all working together with good-minded people at different levels and with various experiences.
And the encouragement from others pushes you to your limits.
You can’t beat this community.
Now, it’s time to go back to the drawing board for next year and figure out where we can go from here!
One of the biggest strengths I’ve noticed this year has been my running. Over the last couple of years in Hyrox, my running has let me down at times.
But showing up for runs, even when I don’t feel like it, has been building blocks for progress.
Personally, I’m not a fast runner!
I’m more of a plotter but I can definitely feel my consistency improving this year.
So, back to the drawing board for next year... and I guess I need to work on my burpees! LOL
My time: 1:18.
