The Run Down

I raced @HYROX_OFFICIAL Auckland in the Mens Solo Pro category and came away with the Age group win and 4th overall.I' in a base build with my Hyrox training at the moment. So I went into the race with no expectations for how it would go. Mainly because I knew id be carrying a bit of fatigue into the race. So when I finished I was a bit surprised at the results.There are so many factors that play into how we show up and actually race on race day. Some of them are predictable and controlable. Others are completely out of our control.Heres how the recap plays out:0:00 - 0:30 Introduction0:30 - 2:00 Lead up to Auckland Hyrox2:00 - 3:20 Race day3:20 - 3:55 Pre Race3:55 - 7:50 The race7:50 - 10:07 The aftermath of the race + Racing mixed doubles on day 2🔗 STAY CONNECTED & TRAIN WITH ME💪🏻 Train With MeJoin my exact training programs & level up your fitness:👉🏼 https://app.fitr.training/t/Buildperformancecoaching/📲 Follow Me on Socials📸 Instagram: @anthony__dipaolo🎥 TikTok: @anthony__dipaolo📧 Coaching Inquiries: coaching@anthdipaolo.com🤝🏼 SPONSORS & PARTNERS🧪 Hyperbolic Sleep – My go-to for recovery & better sleep👉🏼 hyperbolicsleep.comUse code: ANTH for 15% off💪🏻 Myprotein – Fueling my supplement stack👉🏼 https://prf.hn/l/mV01Ekq/ for 40–50% off🍬 Push Gummies – Creatine that actually tastes good👉🏼 pushgummies.com/ANTHONY15Use code: ANTHONY15 for 15% off

In this episode of The Run Down, I break down my experience racing in South Korea — from the high hopes to the hard truths. I walk through the entire race, share my data comparisons, and unpack what might’ve gone wrong: from travel fatigue to taper strategy, to just… not my day.This is the full debrief. The behind-the-scenes. The unfiltered recap. If you've ever had a race blow up on you, you'll relate to this one.🎧 Filmed live in Incheon, now adapted for the pod.💥 Topics: race strategy, mindset mid-meltdown, taper mistakes, and lessons for Chicago.Mark my words...I will get that sub 60. Today just wasn't that day.
