  • Sarah!

    Really wonderful interview with Sarah Holden. She is an exceptional young lady and athlete.

Once she’s off the blood thinners as she concerned that the blood clots will return.? Now that she has gone through many months of this journey I would’ve liked to have heard her response.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Multisport Dynamo to HYROX Elite - Calypso Sheridan
Q: What role has coaching played in your progression to elite status?
Geiger Coaching has been pivotal, providing trust, guidance, and belief in her potential, enabling key decisions like switching away from a full focus on swimming to HYROX and pentathlon.
From Multisport Dynamo to HYROX Elite - Calypso Sheridan
Q: What was your mindset going into Stockholm Worlds and how did you handle self-doubt?
She focused on intrinsic goals, trusted her training, and relied on mental preparation and altitude training to stay composed, ultimately finishing strong and feeling prepared to push further.
From Multisport Dynamo to HYROX Elite - Calypso Sheridan
Q: How did your early athletic background shape your HYROX journey?
Her swimming and gymnastics foundation gave her coordination and discipline, which she later translated into OCR and HYROX, with a strategic shift after COVID that opened up cross-discipline possibilities.
HYROX Age Group Worlds & Rule changes - Gerry Miell & Marcus Mollison
Q: How do the new rules around burpees and sandbags affect regular athletes versus elites?
The burpee change with a five-centimeter buffer reduces penalty risk and makes judging clearer, while the sandbag rule shift loosens the requirement to keep the bag on the shoulders, which may benefit a broader range of athletes, especially those pacing longer events.
HYROX Age Group Worlds & Rule changes - Gerry Miell & Marcus Mollison
Q: What stood out most about the World Champs experience and the new venue setup?
The speakers highlighted the spectacle, the stadium environment, and the elevated production as a major leap for Hyrox, with a strong sense that the event set a higher standard for what a Hyrox World Championship can feel like.
