I didn’t train for HYROX...here’s what happened
In this episode, Kyia shares her honest, unfiltered experience competing in HYROX Anaheim in the Women’s Open division — despite not training specifically for the event. Known primarily as a distance runner, she walks listeners through race day from start to finish, breaking down each station, the mental battles she faced, and the unexpected ways the race humbled and challenged her.
Rather than focusing on times or performance, this episode explores what it’s like to show up underprepared, confront comparison, and finish something hard without needing to prove anything. Kyia reflects on identity, humility, and what this experience taught her about fitness, faith, and letting go of perfection.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever tried something new without feeling “ready,” struggled with comparison, or needed the reminder that finishing — not performing — is still a win.
