Introducing fisiocrem sponsored athlete Nikki Sorrell a hybrid athlete looking to take on her first Hyrox event this month!
Nikki really enjoys the hybrid racing events that are currently gaining popularity. She’s tried DEKA, which she found to be awesome, and she’s signed up for her first Hyrox in mid-December.
2024 was a hectic year for work-related travel, which meant she couldn’t focus as much on her training and events. However, she did manage to sign up last minute for the UTA100, an experience that was nothing short of incredible. The event took her through the stunning Blue Mountains, where she achieved her goal of finishing the 100km in under 24 hours.
Nikki is excited for 2025 and eager to dive back into training. Her first step is locking in events, so she has specific targets to work toward, and she plans to structure her training around them.
As Nikki looks ahead to events in 2025, she’s been building an extensive bucket list, with the Larapinta Trail high on her list of things to do.
She draws inspiration from many people and finds motivation in the small things. Those daily 1%-ers over time, lead to big gains. Nikki is also incredibly grateful for the strong support network she has, including her husband, family, gym community, friends, and training buddies, as well as the wider community of the sports she participates in.
For Nikki, every training session or event holds a special memory, especially those spent out in nature. It’s something that truly grounds her, reminding her that she gets to do this. She is always thankful for the journey she’s on and the experiences she’s able to have.
NIKKI’S TOP RECOVERY TIPS
“Utilise strategies to check in with your body to reduce the risk of injury and optimise health and performance. This is a daily non-negotiable for me, and can be as simple as some stretching upon waking/getting up, and I will always prior to training/events, do things like foam rolling, dynamic stretching and band work to prepare for upcoming physical activities.
