Participating in the Hyrox Mixed Doubles event was an intense and rewarding experience for me. One key takeaway was the importance of trust and communication with your partner, especially since Hyrox combines strength, endurance, and mental toughness. Though Frederic and I had very little time to train together—just a quick 500m run plus some workout stations—we managed to synchronize our pacing and support each other throughout the race. From personal experience, nutrition can make a huge difference in performance. The energy gel that Fred gave me during the event was a lifesaver, helping to ease a painful side stitch and allowing me to maintain my running momentum. This highlighted for me the critical role of fueling during endurance races, particularly in multi-discipline events like Hyrox. If you’re considering entering a Mixed Doubles Hyrox, I recommend focusing on both your individual fitness and practice working as a team. Even short, targeted sessions simulating race conditions can build confidence. Also, don't underestimate the mental game—pushing through pain and fatigue together can turn the event into a truly empowering experience. Additionally, despite the challenges of travel and busy schedules, the sense of accomplishment from crossing the finish line alongside your partner is unmatched. For future races, I plan to include more joint training sessions and work on strategic pacing to improve our overall time and endurance. Overall, Hyrox Mixed Doubles at the Singapore Expo 2025 proved to be an exciting new challenge blending fitness, strategy, and partnership, and I’m grateful for the chance to compete and grow through this experience.
