HYROX Penalties! PUMA Wants To Make You A Star! Plus Thunder And Lightning Is Quite Frightening

Matt returns from HYROX New York with stories from Broadway, a Pro Doubles race, and a costly penalty that may have cost him and Matt Kemp a podium finish. The crew breaks down the sled pull mistake, racing outdoors at Pier 76, and whether HYROX should rethink refunds when weather shuts down competition. They also discuss the thunder and lightning that canceled Saturday evening racing, the community response at Training Lab, and how athletes handled the chaos. Plus, PUMA announces a new athlete program for age group world champions, Stockholm preparations ramp up, and Cheryl gets ready for HYROX World Championships in Sweden.
