The sport may be new. But the drive and determination remain the same for @tiaclair1. “I jumped into HYROX initially for a bit of fun with a mate. And the community, the challenge, it was just something that ignited a fire deep down inside. I realized it was something that I really wanted and needed in my life.” Competing in HYROX — a circuit-style race combining 5 miles of running interspersed with 8 workout stations — has required a different training formula than competing at the top level of CrossFit. Less strength training, much more running. Learning to rely on a partner after 10+ years of competing solo. And doubling down on her electrolyte intake, with the higher amount she’s sweating during endurance training. “The new training has been a nice change. It’s been challenging, but I really have enjoyed it. Hydration has also been crucial to my recovery, allowing me to show up day after day.” Tia has already qualified in two divisions for the HYROX World Championships this coming June, and broke a record in the Pro Women’s Doubles division last month. HYROX may be new ground. But pouring her heart into the sport? That’s nothing new ⚡
