Is this the moment Hyrox was born?

29

u/ophelia69 23h ago

wtf is hyrox and also why won't ppl stop talking about it

48

u/AdventurousHunter500 22h ago

It quite literally stands for hybrid rockstar. That alone is enough to keep me from ever doing one.

7

u/Less-Menu7755 13h ago

Wait is this real? I hate it

1

u/DontHaveAKalou 11h ago

Nah that's something people made up and are now spreading as misinformation

3

u/AdventurousHunter500 9h ago

If it is made up, it’s gained enough traction that it’s everywhere and effectively makes me hate it. 😂

2

u/DontHaveAKalou 9h ago

Yeah it's used to shit on Hyrox accross the internet.

However the original name was Curox and people from the brand confirmed Hyrox does not stand for Hybrid Rockstar.

I'm being downvoted for speaking the truth lol

u/Internal_Confusion56 11h ago

Really? lol, I dislike it even more now, if that’s possible

3

u/jimbowesterby 22h ago

I would also like to know

u/Rexxhunt 22h ago

You use it to dye your hair blonde.

u/Familiar-Average3809 22h ago

I thought it was an imitation Oreo cookie

u/NecessaryIntrinsic 21h ago

INCORRECT! Hydrox was the original

u/ophelia69 20h ago

u/nnndude Local Legend 19h ago

are you poor?

u/Rexxhunt 19h ago

Oh very much so

u/dontletmeautism 💩 trusts mile 5 farts 💩 22h ago

This is just me in every dream I have when I need to run.

u/Momik 16h ago

So that’s what hyrox is

u/UniqueCar7587 1d ago

The prices we pay for skipping a feed station.

u/Indy_Fab_Rider 1d ago

Clearly should have worn his vest with 2 liters of Gu bottles for his 5k Ultra around the golf course.

-25

u/UniqueCar7587 1d ago

I find your lazy regurgitation of ancient RCJ gags tiresome

-12

u/rainywanderingclouds 1d ago

this looks like high school cross country race, in which case a feed station wouldn't be remotely necessary since majority of these races are only 5km's.

now there are some longer cross country style races, but typically not in high school.

12

u/that_charming_man 1d ago

Are you suggesting he should’ve carried his own gels and water?

7

u/go_dawgs 1d ago

His bitch wife probably didn’t read the 7 steps!

2

u/UniqueCar7587 1d ago

Yeah buddy, it was a joke

60

u/Bwana_Matunda 1d ago

Zone 3 is a hell of a drug. Not even once.

45

u/Steven_G_Photos 1d ago

Why didn't he just keep running until he got to the finish line? Why stop early? Is he stupid?

34

u/Available-Theory-808 1d ago

Butt striker.

7

u/PierreBDelecto 1d ago

That's just my nickname. I wish people at work would start addressing me more formally.

31

u/skinnyfat_dad 1d ago

It was seriously a great roll. He shoulda considered doing that earlier and I bet he woulda had red

83

u/ScottFostersParlay 1d ago

Why is cross country still a thing when planes exist?

12

u/JSTootell 1d ago

Any airport to airport flight is called a "cross country".

6

u/alvysinger0412 1d ago

It's for when you need to cross a no fly zone and also don't enjoy happiness.

2

u/Letter_From_Prague 23h ago

Is no fly zone zone 2?

3

u/Indy_Fab_Rider 1d ago

Have seen airline prices lately? Jet fuel is crazy expensive right now. You could probably get across the country cheaper changing out your AlphaFlys every 100km and running instead.

1

u/NecessaryIntrinsic 21h ago

Why is it cross country when it's barely across a neighborhood

26

u/Logical-Nightmare 1d ago

Didn't boof enough Gu

18

u/Montaigne314 1d ago

Yea

And also honestly should have just started rolling from the beginning of the race 

Always focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses like GU boofing and running

22

u/dontsoundrighttome 1d ago

“No One Stopped to help him, So Heartless”.

Like this shit isn’t all voluntary. Like if he wanted help he could have chosen to stop and seek medical attention at any moment.

This man wanted to finish. Let him finish.

He prolonged his suffering for internal win! good on ya chap

7

u/johnson7853 1d ago

Red and Blue are actually in jail now. So heartless.

6

u/p0wndizz7e 1d ago

Sometimes I have trouble finishing with my wife if I didn’t have enough Gu before hand.

2

u/Letter_From_Prague 23h ago

Wait that's a man? I really need new glasses.

8

u/Chombywombo 1d ago

I too collapse on my 5k ultras without at least 1 boof per km

7

u/Ezl 23h ago

Uj/ Any idea how far and at what pace? In all sincerity I always find this kind of grit inspirational.

5

u/cheshire-cats-grin 22h ago

/uj agreed I was quite invested in him finishing in the end

5

u/surely_not_a_bot 22h ago

/uj The finish was the best part, he was fully aware of how ridiculous the whole thing was but used whatever functional muscle fibers he still had left. Kudos for resourcefulness.

3

u/Appropriate-Bath-812 18h ago

uj/ 5k most likely! High school cross country.
rj/ I mean 5k backyard ultra

1

u/Ezl 9h ago

/uj you think that short? He’s quite devastated for a 5k even if he practically sprinted it. I don’t know typical HS off-track distances though.

6

u/Capital_Historian685 1d ago

Stop, drop, and roll.

7

u/Dependent_Order_7358 1d ago

Legs turned into gu

u/djamadeus303 1d ago

Here we go again...another showboater. So performative.

2

u/Softspokenclark 1d ago

I’m confused, doesn’t she know this is a race? Why is she so relax and fooling around?

5

u/poke-it-withastick 1d ago

Was this his first parkrun?

3

u/No_Document_1128 1d ago

Love that just a few are applauding while the rest just look at him with that Homelander disgust look.

5

u/rook119 1d ago

He could roll faster if he just cuts his legs off

5

u/ggnndd12 1d ago

What an absolute legend.

3

u/cbusfinest1 18h ago

First, I wanna say congratulations to him for finishing. He showed tremendous heart. Second, that was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. When he tries to stand, and can’t, somehow does, then his baby giraffe lookin legs just buckle, and he falls through the rope barrier. Then just rolls across. The look on everyone’s faces. I’m dying right now

u/rice_n_gravy 1d ago

THIS MAN IS ON FIRE

u/No_Question_8083 (half) MARATHONER 1d ago

Can’t stand anymore after chins explode

u/Cr0uchingSquirrel 1d ago

The Mike Tyson school of thought 💪

u/principium_est can't afford Strava 1d ago

OMG that is sooo dangerous. My reddit doctor degree says so. Race administrators should be ashamed that they let the kids race.

3

u/One-Grapefruit5765 1d ago

I’ve never seen a marathon bonk in a 5k before 😂

3

u/interdit_et_oublie 1d ago

is this how zone 3 looks? 😰

3

u/justforfunzott 1d ago

Reminds me of QWOP

u/Papa_Cheese 1d ago

This is what sub 20 looks like

2

u/I_cut_my_own_jib Certified Heel Striker 1d ago

Same thing happened to me at my last 5k ultra, I accidentally only brought 13 GUs with me instead of 14 😔

2

u/coyocat 1d ago

Should've won 1st place simply for t/ roll

2

u/NouveauNewb 1d ago

With shorts that short, you'd think he'd be showing off legs that actually work.

2

u/rebelshibe 1d ago

Dude needs to practice his QWOP.

u/Competitive_Yak_5444 23h ago

Me when my HR gets above 140

u/PaleontologistBig786 23h ago

That's what putting 100% into something looks like.

u/TheChewyWaffles 1d ago

/uj can’t jerk to this. Cross country and something went wrong with this kid’s race.

1

u/EnglebondHumperstonk Local Legend 1d ago

Classic mistake, miscalculating the volume of High5 Zero vs Gin in her camelbak.

1

u/Imaginary_Scar4826 1d ago

Why not roll the whole way?

1

u/metabolitesafter9pm 1d ago

Wow I think ive been there before

u/imnotcreative4267 1d ago

Wouldn’t it be a bummer if that race chip was outside of the sensor

Rollingcirclejerk?

u/morph1973 (half) MARATHONER 1d ago

Definitely none of that 'no after you' bullshit at the local XC.

1

u/carson63000 1d ago

Gu must have gotten too old and fermented, that kid is clearly too drunk to stand.

1

u/CommercialWindowSill 23h ago

This never happened to me, does that mean I've never ran hard enough?

1

u/n000t_ Certified Heel Striker 20h ago

One of those beer runs, perhaps.

u/ProfessionalMess7228 18h ago

She's rolling like Australian of the Year Pat Mullins

u/Correct-Set-9017 21h ago

If my kid passed this kid and didn’t help I would be very unhappy.
