HYROX STOCKHOLM 2025 - last double race of the year! -
It’s easy to chase podiums inside your comfort zone.
The real work starts when you step outside it.
Two races. Two divisions. Three days apart.
HYROX Singles PRO → then OPEN.
When the weights got heavy, that’s where I almost quitted, twice!
Not because I wasn’t fit — but because I’m not strong enough yet.
Runs, row, ski, lunges? Solid.
100 wall balls unbroken.
Conditioning-wise, I couldn’t give more.
But heavier loads (like sled pull, heavy WB) exposed my weakness 😭🫣
Lesson learned:
Stay humble.
Train what scares you.
Train your weakness.
For me, that means:
• heavy upper-body strength
• fast transitions (when your nervous system says “not yet”)
Thursday PRO race: 1:17:08 → 11/36 (W 40–44). Disappointed.
Sunday OPEN race: 1:09:12 → 3rd in my age group. Relief, thinking: I have improved, I got it!
I underestimated how different those two days would be.
Now the work is clear. The program will follow.
The
No limits between sport, hard training and my work: who am I if I can’t show my clients the hard way to reach a goal?
It’s rare for me to feel mentally low during a race — this one hit hard.
So yes… let’s call it mental strength training 🧠💪🏼
… and I realized that there are no boundaries between my training and my job: sport IS my life!
Huge respect to everyone who stepped onto that floor just to finish. That takes courage. And a lot of admiration for those PRO women racing on my side, no matter their age!
Dear Santa 🎄
Next year I’ll take PRs, strength gains…
and yes, the hard work too. “No pain, no gain”, right? 😹
Final moment that made my day:
post-race cooldown, a couple of guys told me I reminded them of Lara Croft while running.
I’ll take that 😭🔥
Back to work:
gym, swim hall, and Rockman prep.
The journey continues, but for now, time for a few days of rest please 🙏🏻
And Marry Christmas: gratefulness, family and love!
