In the 13th episode of Freestyle Fridays, Chris Welton breaks down his full experience at the HYROX competition—fresh off the event and still feeling the impact of every rep, run, and obstacle. He walks listeners through each workout in detail, sharing which stations pushed him to his limits, including the notoriously brutal broad jump burpees, which he ranks as one of the toughest parts of the entire course. Chris also opens up about a moment that could have derailed the day: he fell during one of the event workouts. Instead of letting the setback break him, he tells the story of how he got back up—driven by the energy of the crowd and the unwavering support of his wife, whose presence helped him push through the pain and finish the race. Reflecting on the entire experience, Chris talks about the strengths, discipline, and mental resilience he’s gained from committing to something so physically demanding. Taking on HYROX wasn’t just a fitness challenge—it was a massive personal overhaul that expanded what he believes he’s capable of. To close out the episode, Chris flips the focus to the listeners and asks a powerful question: Why are you still waiting to do the things that feel “too tough”? If he can take on an event like HYROX—fall, struggle, fight, and still finish—then he knows you can take on the difficult things in your own life too. The message is clear: stop waiting, stop overthinking, and start confronting your adversities head-on.
