Why Is Everyone Doing Hyrox? with Natasha Van Der Merwe

This week, Feisty editor Carrie steps in to host the podcast while our fearless leader Kelly is away. Katie recaps a jam-packed weekend of racing in Gulfport, Mississippi - sharing her athletes’ results along with her own coaching takeaways from both the America’s Cup and the Collegiate Club Championships. We’re also joined by Natasha Van Der Merwe, founder and CEO of NVDM Coaching, who brings her expert perspective to the mic. Together, we dive into the latest racing action from Texas 70.3, Oceanside 70.3, and look ahead to Ironman Texas. From there, we tackle one of the biggest recent controversies in the triathlon world: how many amateurs actually beat professionals in Oceanside. (TL;DR: earning a pro license is far more challenging than it might seem.) Finally, Natasha breaks down the hype around Hyrox, what Hyrox athletes can learn from triathlon, and why this fast-growing sport may have more in common with our beloved swim-bike-run than you’d expect.
