Summary

Matt sits down with Chris Strub to break down HYROX Miami from a first-timer's perspective, starting with a look back at BattleFrog and how the OCR boom compares to what HYROX is building today. Chris shares how he went from skeptical runner to fully bought in, including what stood out most about the event, the athlete experience, and the scale of participation.

They cover race strategy, doubles dynamics, rookie mistakes, and why HYROX is pulling athletes from running and boutique fitness. They also touch on how Chris decided to support women on the course and, maybe, find a mate.

The conversation also dives into social media, brand authenticity, and how HYROX has built an ecosystem that's driving massive growth.
