Something I said I’d never do: a solo Hyrox

So here’s proof that it happened 💪🏼✨

I could not be more proud of myself - physically, for staying strong and holding my pace throughout the race, but even more so mentally, because if I’m being honest, that was the part I was most nervous about.

While I raced by myself, it was still a full team effort. From the family and friends who supported me and showed up, to the coaches who helped prepare me, to the girl I met in the start tunnel, and even the strangers cheering for other people that I pretended were cheering for me - thank you. I truly could not have done it without you 💛

Before we were released from the start tunnel, we were asked what kind of woman we wanted to show up as that day - and I’m sure as hell proud of the woman I showed up as on Sunday 🥹

10/10 recommend signing up for a Hyrox in any form - you will surprise yourself and then experience one of the best feelings ever ✨

Dear March,

thank you for the reminders that growth isn’t always loud. Some of the biggest shifts happen quietly - in routines, in mindset, in choosing differently than you did before

And thank you for the little moments that reminded me I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be✨

January + February 🫶🏼

Bonds were deepened
Challenges were crushed
Tough conversations were had
Smiles were shared

Love felt easy
Trust felt safe

People showed up, I showed up
And that changed everything

I feel different, so I know this year will be different too✨
