Coming from a non-endurance background as a kid, Pelayo Fernandez took his fitness foundation of karate and sand skiing off to university. It was there he started running and fell in love with triathlon. It was at the finish of one of these races that he found out about the sport of HYROX.

With just his second pro race in NYC Pelayo managed to find the top of the podium and reflects on getting there.

Rich and Brian join host Matt B. Davis to talk about the intersection of CrossFit and Hybrid events like HYROX and DEKA.

They tackle such questions as:

What are the Hyrox athletes doing so poorly? How many CrossFit athletes are doing Hyrox? How many will be in the future? Is CrossFit more frustrating to deal with than Spartan and HYROX?
