Todays Day in Nice. Pre Ironman nerves 😬

This time a week ago I was making my way back from a trip of a lifetime in Las Vegas after competing in the hardest Champs I’ve done..so far..(Ironman Nice is coming soon!)
These two legends helped me through massively and got to see my pain face on more than one occasion (still getting flashbacks/PTSD from those sleds). This pic was taken about 15 minutes after the event hence the tired eyes and feeble attempts at a thumbs up 👍 got to say we looked a million times better than when we crossed that finish line though 😬
Huge thanks to & 🙏 until the next one boys where we’ll definitely kick our way into the top 💯

First lot of the Vegas photo dumps from Las Vegas Championships 2022

What a journey and experience it was to fly half way around the world to be part of something so special and elite. Loved every second of the competition (although my face said otherwise), pushing my mind and body to places they’ve never been before. Finishing 36th in the world for my age group, and 112th over all hasn’t quite sunk in that I’m amongst some of the fittest athletes in the world. After completing my first Hyrox event in Manchester in January 2022, it’s safe to say I caught the bug and to qualify for the Championships in Vegas was something I couldn’t turn down.

Meeting such like minded people from over 20 countries really put into perspective just how special it was to be there. And to meet two quality lads from the UK made the experience that much better. Not to mention the three of us finished within 1 minute of each other, so we could all share that finish line feeling together. Another highlight was meeting who finished 5th in the Elite wave and is genuinely one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met. Having these people around me just makes me hungry for improvement, to push even harder to get a quicker time and to hopefully break into that top 100 or even higher.

So here’s to the next Hyrox competition and hopefully the next World Championships (rumour has it they’re going to be in Manchester!!)

Thank you to all the athletes and staff that made this trip a once in a lifetime experience.

More from Manchester 💥
Some are from the singles event and some from the team relay with .mullan87 .cummins89 I’m so so proud of these three people..they’d never competed in anything like this before, had to complete two workouts each (all just as tough as the next) and leg it 1KM before each one, they stayed strong all the way through and I think they may have even enjoyed it 😂 massive love and admiration to all three of you! Correct me if I’m wrong but we came first for the Mixed Team Relay right… 🤯 🥲💪
All the team from absolutely smashed it and proved that their hard work and effort pays off. Every single person in each of our teams surpassed everyone else’s already high expectations. Thrown into something with people you know only from the gym, not knowing what to expect really builds that community love and pushes you to go harder not just for yourself but for the team. Well done to all of you 👏👏here’s to taking over another event soon and thank you for making that day so special🥂 ❤️
