From training sessions to the HYROX race floor, this is where The Work gets tested.

Episode two follows Vira and Tyler on HYROX race day in Anaheim as they take on their first HYROX Mixed Doubles race. For first-time HYROX athletes, everything comes together here — months of training, race-day nerves, pacing decisions, and learning how to perform under pressure.

This episode shows what a first HYROX race really looks like: the moments before the start, the intensity of each station, and how communication and mindset matter just as much as physical strength. Racing in the Mixed Doubles division, Vira and Tyler navigate fatigue, strategy, and teamwork while learning how to stay composed when the race gets hard.

You’ll see them complete the full HYROX race format, all using the same Centr x HYROX Official Competition Equipment they trained with leading into race day.

Whether you’re training for your first HYROX race, considering signing up, or preparing for your next event, this episode offers a real look at what to expect on race day — from execution and pacing to partnership and mental toughness when it matters most.
