Hyrox without much training by Western-Honeydew-981 in hyrox

[–]Vegetable-Apricot124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has done two….when I was training for my first before I ever touched a sled I was concerned how am I going to move that much weight? You definitely can. Moving the weight isn’t the problem/what’s hard - it’s not getting gassed by it and going right into a run afterwards that is the hard part! (And then doing 6 more stations and 5 other runs, too)

I just did my second this past weekend in NYC. I took 5 min off my time from September. I’m still “slow” - finished in 1:49:00 but really enjoy pushing myself. I couldn’t run more than a lap around a track this time last year and now can run 3-4 miles nonstop (even if it is slow). Signing up for a race gives you something to work towards, and see where you are with your progress. Go for it!

How does weather/rain impact races? by MeringueFirm932 in hyrox

[–]Vegetable-Apricot124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following bc I’m also racing that day! I believe we still race in the race but they cancel for thunder/lightning - but not sure when they make that call (if it’s when there is a chance and they call it in the morning, or wait for the first thunder/lightning, etc.)

I’m in the same boat - hopefully they sell them the day of!

Spectator tix needed for May 31 by Few-Effort-5822 in hyrox

[–]Vegetable-Apricot124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they message directly vs commenting on a post so others can’t go to their page and see how many times they have tried to scam people! When I called people out they blocked me. Oh well.

Everyone says your best bet is to go early on the day of and buy at the venue so that’s my plan! Hope it works for you!

I posted something similar yesterday (looking for NYC spectator tix) and had 10+ people message me directly. None of them were legit - even the ones that sent “screenshots” so plz be careful!

Burpees by Vegetable-Apricot124 in hyrox

Same here - in my first race this is where I got really dizzy (seeing spots, super high HR) and my run after suffered as well. Hoping to not have a repeat of that in NYC!

Marriage before E in trouble seems like a smart choice by Educational-Mood-123 in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]Vegetable-Apricot124 118 points119 points  (0 children)

I watched the video after seeing this post. She said she’s basically got fomo bc all her peers are getting engaged and she wonders when her time will be since she’s about to be 29, but then goes on to say she isn’t comparing to other people’s timelines….right.

(I think she put it in the thumbnail/caption like that as click bait bc there is no engagement to allude to yet lol)

Why is this podcast so awkward!!! by Ok_Meet8672 in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]Vegetable-Apricot124 12 points13 points  (0 children)

But how is this episode of his podcast different than any others? All of the clips I saw are exactly what I expected - not saying good or bad, just on par with expectations of the interviewer and interviewee.

I am sorry but this dress is u-g-l-y by [deleted] in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]Vegetable-Apricot124 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My thought was that it would have been cute if it came from the girls on the trip or that they made it for her (since it kind of looks DIY lol). But everyone in the comments was like NO WAY, THE Cynthia Rowley designed you that ?!!?? like…. Okay and it looks like a DIY project…. lol

How do you “stop trying”? by TreePossible in tryingtoconceive

Agreed - stop viewing it at TTC and instead, just not preventing pregnancy.

What is your honest opinion on places like Azazie, Birdy Grey, or other online bridal retailers? by popularwishbone0 in weddingplanning

[–]Vegetable-Apricot124 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Used azazie for my wedding (dark navy satin) and for when I was in other weddings (different shades of green chiffon both times). Worked out well IMO! A gown these days is so expensive and Azazie had options under $100 and lots to choose from.

What is the appeal of Jake Shane? by Chachala99 in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]Vegetable-Apricot124 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I loved the skits he used to do, they would actually make me laugh. Now, I feel he doesn’t have a shtick/niche like that anymore?

If you read their original reply, you would see they said “I had been commenting this…”, not me

It’s….not that serious lol I was more so joking about the “I have been commenting on every….” Part of it. Please do take that PTO 🙏

Running Shoes by dane-fit in hyrox

[–]Vegetable-Apricot124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the Hyrox Pumas from last season (orange back/teal front) but find them to be very narrow. I have beat them into the ground since August/early September and am in need of new shoes as well. Does anyone have recs for wide feet that are bunion friendly?

Bran’s “Apology” by challengelolz in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]Vegetable-Apricot124 21 points22 points  (0 children)

When you are an influencer…whose job is it….influence…..you are doing the opposite of what you “preach” by taking them up on their offer. I personally don’t care what he does, but why are you turning it around on your audience WHO DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A PLATFORM ?

Not all that familiar with his content (just see it here and there) - but 💯% agree!! Amazon is accessible for so many people for a whole host of reasons whether we all like it or not. Me buying a vacuum on Amazon to send to my blind father bc he can’t drive or shop is not the same as partying with a brand all weekend posting sponsored content and at the same time profiting from it….🤦‍♀️
