He also has done sub 3 marathon @ 2:55
*tech shoes, downhill
still impressive. On that note, time for me to go to the gym
Did Hunter get into crossfit?
I thought he was a former collegiate runner turned spartan racer?
None of his info makes any mention of crossfit competitions that I can find.
Looks like mostly spartan racing and now hyrox stuff.
He was a wildcard invite to the games - not top 10 performer. He does have the murph world record
Very impressive for a big dude like that.
quite a poor result for a professional athlete in his 30’s

Ok, well thanks for your reality check on this one, we definitely don’t want to get carried away and say someone did something good when we shouldn’t.
My apologies.

Now there’s a good project for the JollyRoger. I definitely think they each need a dedicated thread!!

a professional athlete gets paid, he is more jack of all trades. For going all in on this being his first ironman and ~1 year training is pretty good. Didnt lionel get this same result time for his first ironman? I doubt hunter can go all in from here on to improve that much to be a 2nd place IMWC guy…or maybe? There is probably more money in hyrox
Think he’s done alright for a guy who is dabbling. His strava has him run 1160 Km this year and ridden 2500. I’m barely training and he is doing about the same as me and he went and dropped a 336 marathon after executing a ST approved 530 is conservative bike split.
Not making the case for cross fit, but the guy has some talent given the outcome from the inputs.
Nothing remarkable about this given how prevalent PEDs are in crossfit, actually slow considering…Where is your evidence that this particular individual was using PEDs? This post should be excised from the conversation.

I thought ST had a policy against accusing someone of doping unless they had hard evidence? If you do then definitely let us see.

He was almost dead average for his AG.
I don’t see how that constitutes any kind of “talent.”
There are two notable things:
- That we are talking about him at all.
- That he took about twice as long as his faster competitors in transition.
Why were his transitions soo slow???
My guess.-
Hair spray, skin care, deodorant and of course - selfies.
Lots of selfies.
Excellent self promoter.
Average Ironman.
Man we really hate our fellow competitors in triathlon eh?
What the hell is hyrox? I see that it is a fitness race that involves running and the ski erg, but what is the rest of the race? Is it different every time?

Not saying he is, just that PED use and CrossFit go hand in hand like burgers and fries…

Yeah,they don’t call this Slowbitch for nothing. There are some Olympic level assholes here…

Best way I have found to describe Hyrox is “Endurance CrossFit”

Same format.
SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad Jump, rowing, kettlebell farmer’s carry, sandbag lunges, wall balls. The weights and stuff vary depending on pro or regular status, gender.
1K run before each station.
CrossFit and Hyrox are awesome. Hunter is a pretty amazing athlete. Triathletes are also fantastic. I don’t get the idea that somehow multisport is a “pie” and if CrossFitters are admired there’s less pie for the triathletes.
I’m all for other people from other sports doing tri, though I have to temper my enthusiasm when the other sport is a shady one like CrossFit…
