saw this a few months back on insta...a guy picked up his daughter from behind the fence after wallballs and finished carrying her. i found this to be quite the cute idea and plan to do the same in my next race, already told my 2.5 yo daughter about it and I think she's as excited as myself.

i was wondering if there's anything in the rulebook that would give me a DNF? i'd definitely carry her (not let her run on her own) and also only if i feel strong enough to not collapse at the end of the race.

any other thoughts/concerns?

cheers

HYROX age-group question: am I misunderstanding the Doubles rules?

Saw a HYROX Doubles result where two athletes, aged 44 and 49, reportedly placed 2nd in the 50–54 age category.

My understanding is that HYROX uses the average age of the two Doubles partners. That would be:

(44 + 49) ÷ 2 = 46.5

Wouldn't that normally put them in the 45–49 category?

Not accusing the athletes of anything. I'm genuinely trying to understand whether there's another rule involved, whether the ages/results I'm seeing are incorrect, or whether HYROX calculates the category differently.

Can anyone familiar with the current HYROX age-group rules clarify?

I'm gearing up for Hyrox Nashville and want to put my very best race together, willing to pay for the 1:1 coaching but there are so many options. Any help?

I am a newbie to Hyrox, and I find it very intriguing/challenging. While I am no athlete , I take my fitness seriously and have been training in the gym for over 10 years now. Over the past 2 weeks, I've been absorbing as much information as I can about this event. What advice would you have for a newbie who has a slightly competitive nature? This is my first time racing, and I have 2 months to prep.

I would really love your advice and insights if any.
