HCP #110 - Lauren is back! Hyrox race reviews. SLC Youngstars! Environmental factors in Hyrox racing

Anthony (0:01)

How's it going today, everyone? This is episode 110 of the Hybrid Coaching Podcast. This is my seventh episode with my wife. Our dog just came running in here and sprinting at the computer as we started this. I thought he was gonna tackle, I thought he was gonna tackle the computer off the table. Holy crap.

But I'm so excited. Lauren's back on with me this week. And since the last time she was on here was before she went and raced Acapulco. So it's been...

Lauren (0:32)

It was before I went to Oregon.

Anthony (0:35)

It was before you went to Oregon.

Lauren (0:36)

Yeah, it's been a long time.

Anthony (0:38)

I think it's been two or three episodes.

Lauren (0:39)

Yeah, I've traveled the last three out of the past four weekends. I'm tired, but it's actually not slowing down. So we need to make sure that I came back on because I'm traveling again next weekend. And then we're doing a community event the weekend after that.

And then I will be home for a weekend and then I leave for Hamburg. So it's not slowing down.

Anthony (1:02)

It's not slowing down. We are going through Hamburg. And then after Hamburg, when we get back, I just told you today, it'll be daylight savings and it'll start getting dark here, sunset at like 5 o'clock p.m. It's not my favorite.

Lauren (1:17)

I don't like when the sun goes down really early.

Anthony (1:19)

But after that, I'm going to go to Denver because the Denver race is the following weekend. And then it's Thanksgiving weekend. And then you're right back on a plane to Lunding.

Lauren (1:30)

Yeah. So and then it's Christmas.

Anthony (1:32)

And then it's and then it's a little break before the next race, which they just announced today. I saw HYROX officially announced what the remaining three majors were.

Lauren (1:41)

Was this the first time they announced?

Anthony (1:43)

This is the first time HYROX announced it. They did get leaked earlier.

Lauren (1:46)

Because I only saw leaks on different platforms. Yeah.

Anthony (1:49)

So it is confirmed that they will be Bangkok and then Las Vegas.

Lauren (1:55)

Woohoo!

Anthony (1:56)

Home race. And then Lyon, France.

And then Worlds is in Hong Kong.

Lauren (2:02)

It's a lot of travel. Well, if we do all of them, it's a lot of travel. I mean, obviously, I will do Vegas because it's here. So of course, I'm going to do it. But besides that, it's a lot of travel for sure.

Anthony (2:15)

Well, you're also the only athlete that's never missed an elite race or major race.

Lauren (2:20)

So I know. But this might be the year.

Anthony (2:23)

This might be the year. Have the streak come to an end. Okay.

So we had a little hectic interruption there, but we will definitely be in Las Vegas.

Lauren (2:31)

Yeah, Lauren, you were talking about how that I haven't missed one, but I probably will end up missing one this year.

Anthony (2:35)

Yeah, there's five of them this year. You might miss one, but we don't know.

Lauren (2:40)

One or two. I mean, it's kind of up in the air. It's like, so Bangkok is really far. I do really want to go. I think I'm going to wait until that time comes. I'll definitely do Vegas.

If I go to Bangkok, I'm probably going to consider not doing the last one in France, but we'll see.

Anthony (2:59)

But there's other races around that time too. Like we could do.

Lauren (3:02)

That's also whether or not I've qualified by then. Of course, like if I haven't qualified, then I will definitely go to France.

Anthony (3:09)

Yeah, that's for sure. So let's talk about first thing today we're going to talk about, I want to review the last two races you did, because we haven't reviewed them. We've missed talking about a lot of workouts. So I think the races can make up for that. I also did a race in Salt Lake City. So I'll touch on that with my amazing partner, Charlie, who dragged me around the race course.

I really want to talk about-

Lauren (3:32)

Charlie's really fit right now.

Anthony (3:33)

He is. I look at the pictures that Sportograph had.

Lauren (3:39)

I haven't seen him.

Anthony (3:40)

I didn't buy him yet, but I looked at him, and Charlie just is jacked and ripped in every photo. I'm like, I feel a little inferior.

Lauren (3:48)

He's all for like six, four years. He definitely stays.

Anthony (3:51)

He's like six, four, got muscle all over him, running fast. He was good. I feel like I really held him back looking at the pictures. But then I want to talk about obviously your races in my race and the Young Stars. I want to talk about the Young Stars because there's some really cool things I saw there.
