There is an option for everybody.

As an above knee amputee (AKA), I fall into the lower major division for HYROX.

Every adaptation has been designed to keep the stations as close to the original as possible.

The additional energy output is taken into account, hence less distance and weight on some stations.

However, the 1km run (walk in my case) is the same.

There are several adaptive divisions depending on your individual needs, so don’t be put off by thinking you won’t be able to do it.

You’d be amazed by the adaptive athletes that take part and what they’re able to do.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve said this.

My Split.

Something to try 👇👇👇

1. Driclor antiperspirant:

Put it onto your residual limb at night after a shower. Its effect can last for a few days.

2. underlays.

One of my clients raves about these underlay socks. It will absorb the sweat that would normal lead to your liner slipping down.

3. underlays.
Similar to number 2. Enthnocare have a range of different products to help improve the fit and comfort of prosthetic sockets. I’m yet to try any of them, but they’re worth looking into.

The warning at the end…has anyone else done that?

Which are you?
