Out of the OL bubble

Sidenote: this post owes everything to the incredible sleuthing skills of an already longtime trusted friend, who wishes to remain discreet. All credit goes entirely to her - this is such an idiotic topic, yet the Ur Troll insists.

I answered one of you in the comment threads yesterday, that once you get the hell out of the OL bubble, things begin to make sense. Why? Well, because of distance and context, I suppose. And also because this always was the dirty little secret of our Dedicated Manipulative Trolls: to make you believe in a terribly poor narrative, fit for a linear world. A world without compromise, drama, secrets and lies. Collective lack of time, perspective and/or Internet research skills did the rest and gave birth to this monster: the OL Fandom.

We are now told and are supposed to believe that because Scottish Xena apparently chose on purpose (with this and only this, I could agree, but for opposite reasons) to show us she trains in a Cumbernauld gym, that means... well, you know the rest and it involves The Magic Golden Dirk. That troll was never exactly subtle, was she, bless her heart?

That mother and entrepreneur has a life of her own and an entourage of her own and business collaborations of her own and her own agenda. Some of it is shown on her Instagram account, most of it can be speculated. Connecting dots just for the sake of it is neither productive, nor remotely interesting.

Let's see, for example, how she reacts to a very insistent fellow German athlete, whom she is going to meet at the Hyrox Cologne event (13-14th of April, during the Landcon week-end):

😬😱

What is Flamingos Club? Nope, not an ikebana society, no:

Tee-hee.

They were there before, in good company, last year, when they actually first met (rings a bell?):

(April 2023, ok? I am still waiting for my own DeLorean)

Who is this guy?

Fellow athlete, HYROX Ambassador (something I bet the farm she wants to achieve) and a contestant in this year's German reality show First Dates Hotel, on VOX (https://www.vox.de/cms/sendungen/first-dates-hotel.html):

The concept is simple: a renowned German chef, Roland Trettl (no idea!) now takes his blind date cooking show to the next level, with singles from all over the country parked into a Spanish dream holiday resort (Mallorca), shake, stir and see whatever happens. The classical Endemol recipe, now produced by Twenty Twenty. It also has an UK version, running on Channel 4 (coincidence? I doubt that very much, thank you!).

On set, Max's 'love interest' is a certain Linda. He recently wrote her ' a sweet love letter', taking the good advice of his namesake cast friend Max-the-Bartender:

(I swear to God, I feel like I am prostituting my 🧠, right now).

There is obviously nothing to see, here (or is it, such as two wannabes desperately wanting limelight?). She leads the typical no strings attached life of a single mom and he is still looking for a real job:

Since VOX does not give his full name, neither will I. It took five minutes to find him, with a bit of luck.

Why on Earth would one connect that woman to S, rather than to this nice, ambitious Bavarian?

I know why. It's almost too damn easy.

Two words: Channel 4. Truman Show. Ginger and Fred (oops, these are Our Couple).

Is it anything we haven't seen before?

Nope. We've seen way worse. But gone are the Days of Flukenzie Floozy.

[Edited] - there is no need to further expose our people.

1 hour is the average flight time from Paris to Cologne. By Train average 5 hours.

But…… The evidence doesn't lie, people do.

SH signed for Hyrox Cologne, but he did not compete. As a result, Hyrox now has information about the athlete for future registrations.

#HyroxCologne2024

Posted 14th April 2024

@imahalfemptykindofgirl After seeing no more photographic evidences of SH completing the Hyrox Glasgow competition. I've been thinking about it. Up to one week before the event, SH may make changes to his participation in the country where the event takes place. During the Hyrox Glasgow race, SH had a new athlete who was allowed to compete under the SH name without proper ID verification. It just depends on who was working at the check-in. If it’s a volunteer (possibly a friend or acquaintance of SH) they didn’t care. If a real Hyrox employee was working at the check-in counter he would have forced the proper registration and transfer of information to the new participant. You will be identified in the athlete test, so it can be difficult unless you look alike. I wonder which athlete was not identified through testing, so he was able to run under SH’s name.

This should be investigated by Hyrox Glasgow staff. In Cologne, Germany, the situation was different for SH. He didn't know anyone willing to give them his ticket, so he didn't participate in the event. It's unclear why he didn't submit his registration change request in advance, as there was a waiting list of people who wanted to take his place. It was his decision not to compete in the Hyrox event in Cologne, and instead, he wanted to walk around Paris to be recognised by his fans wearing a new version of Oliver Peoples sunglasses 😎

@chismesdeker…. [Nati met Jamieeeee Thanks for the photo ❤️]

Unfortunately, due to his failure to report, a more dedicated and responsible competitor missed out on the opportunity to participate in Hyrox Cologne.

No disciplinary action was taken against him as he did not participate in the competition, hence he did not break any rules. However, it is important to note that each participant is expected to behave in an honourable manner according to the RULES OF CONDUCT, and his conduct displayed a lack of sportsmanship. Signing up and then dropping out is not a respectable attitude.

By the way, this is the sunglasses 🕶️

Waking up to DMs and an Anon letting me know BOTH Sarah Holden and Sam Heughan will be participating at Hyrox in Cologne, Germany this weekend!

Sam is participating in Landcon fan convention in Paris on Saturday and Hyrox athletic competition on Sunday! Look, here he is confirmed on the Hyrox list as a participant. 👇 Köln is German for Cologne.

And he's in Paris at Landcon ONLY on Saturday. 👇

And Sarah is already in Cologne. 👇

And also on the list to participate in Hyrox. 👇

Sooooo, #samarah will be together again publicly. My Spidey senses tell me I'll get some insider info this weekend...fingers crossed. 🤞🙏

Hello good afternoon! On Sam's part, we already have some speculation there in Mordor (will we have a Barbie Fitness revival?). But what about IFTA? Will we have a two-pronged attack this weekend?

Dear IFTA Anon,

The IFTA event is in Dublin, on April 20th. Next week, not this week-end.

For the moment, we have Landcon in Paris on Saturday and yup, he registered for the Cologne Hyrox on Sunday:

And so is Mrs. Xena, what a surprise:

Of course she geotagged herself, aaah-ing and oooh-ing near the Dome. Ha. Ha.

After all, she told Herr Lederhosen, her Bavarian fan Numero Uno, she was going to race PRO at Hyrox Cologne, hashtag lonewolf, hashtag Club Flamingo (but afterwards, LOL) - more about this, here: https://www.tumblr.com/sgiandubh/744955031835541504/out-of-the-ol-bubble?source=share

If you care to see the event's agenda, you'll notice Hyrox PRO women is very short (I have no clue why, ask me about Pre-Raphaelites, instead) and almost simultaneous with the beginning of the Men's race, where S competes. Cue in salacious comments from *urv, I think we should expect at least that.

On the flip side, a revival would be very farfetched, taking into account that Daily Fail article which portrayed him as a Raya lookin' for a hookin', elite available man (LOL for years). PR might be a bitch, but never does something like that without a reason.

Fingahs crossed for that Flamingo Club. Oh, and pour la bonne bouche, she even told us where she is staying in Cologne:

A 'full appartment with kitchen' and thank you Primal (paid partnership, of course) for today and the ESN hotel, starting tomorrow. Here is an interesting clue, just in case anyone pre-empts the fanfic and imagines a kama-sutra side event in one of the numerous hôtels de charme of Cologne.

There is no ESN hotel (yes, I looked, Deutschland and her beauty are not my forte) in town. The ESN she is talking about is Elite Sports Nutrition, a German fitness supplements company (https://int.esn.com/) prominently featured at FIBO 2024 (same dates, roughly, same place):

They pay for the room and she doesn't even know or care where the hotel is.

So long for the fish, Anon. That settles it for me. Also, for having participated several times at different high-level events organized by the German authorities (think EU ministerial summit level), I can tell you these people do not joke about accommodation, transfers and registration formalities: this is very strict and very, very effective. Best organization in the world and I know something about it.

*fondly and suddenly remembers her miraculous long week-end at the Adlon Hotel, in Berlin, circa 2007 *

[Later edit]: Told you. *urv already wrote Chapter 13 of Fitness at Dawn. It's based in Cologne:

*bangs head against wall*

Looks like Sam didn’t race today. His results should have been posted in real time, and it was empty, and still is a couple of hours later.

There are indeed no results shown and normally they are displayed in real time. Other contenders' results are all shown. So I think we can safely assume he didn't participate. So you can all stop sending me messages about that, I already know and saw it myself.

To the wishful thinkers sending me messages about he's there and whatever else you're speculating [some very sick things by the keyboard warriors putting that in someone's inbox without the courage to sign it with your name and hiding behind the Anon! Be ashamed of yourself, wash your mouth with soap, clean your keyboard or phone or tablet whatever you use with bleach and go for a long walk preferably somewhere fresh and windy to clean all these cobwebs from your brain]. e.g. Stop sending me anything if you have nothing else to do but speculate. You know the drill, pic or no cigar. No pic; your message will end up in trash and your wasting your (and my) time.

To all the but but but.... he could be there.... Well, it's quite an interesting venue as it is combined with the FIBO event as well. A huge expo, if you're interested in fitness, workouts and all things related, it sure is an event you might want to visit. I saw some awesome footage exploring it. The entrance passes for the Hyrox race (as well as spectators) allows you entrance to the expo as well.

But... (my but this time) lets get real: He has worked for 3 weeks filming on location. AN is in Edinburgh, preps for the gala and other business which Sam would want to be involved in as much as he can and they are working on. And tomorrow a new week of filming starts. Busy busy day yesterday in Paris. From what I've heard and saw some tweets as well, they overbooked Sam

They were running late on schedules and rushed things, Sam has been busy from 8 in the morning till at least 8 in the evening with just a 30 min. lunch in between.

There are no direct flights from Paris to Cologne. So it would be quite challenging to get there on time (I repeat no direct flights, he'd have to fly on Düsseldorf or Frankfurt and then still have travel by taxi or train to Cologne. And not a lot of options for flights even then).

And perhaps he might just love to enjoy a relaxing day in Paris, nice weather and have his pic taken by a fan who was lucky enough to not pay a lot of money and wait in long queues to get a rushed selfie or pic! ^^

Anyway all in all, more reason to believe he wouldn't be there or go there. Even though he wasn't at the evening event last night, I can not tell you why, but I'm told it is not really surprising. It doesn't mean anything necessarily.

So that's my heads up on this topic and probably the last you'll hear about it. Unless there are other developments. But my bet there wont be!

When SH trying to decide to participate in Hyrox Men 🤔 Does it feel heavy or Does it feel light?

If it feels “heavy,” for him don’t do it. (unless it’s something that is required of you and you are prepared). The fact that started an online fitness gym is not a “crucial” factor in making him the fittest man in the CrossFit world, since there is no reason to be surprised by his achievements, but, except for his fans, of course.

He signed up for three consecutive HYROX competitions, but he wasn't consistent in his training routine, which made it difficult for him to participate in the full session HYROX race.Despite this, he still enjoyed signing up and found some moves easier. He became a fan of the Hyrox Pro Women girls and appreciated the experience. It was as if he had escaped from something. SH's Great Escape.

People who are related to sports know You can’t do HYROX with no training. It is still a fitness race which requires training and preparation in strength as well as endurance. HYROX includes a mix of eight 1km runs alternating with eight different workouts. The individual stations are: (1) SkiErg, (2) Sled Push, (3) Sled Pull, (4) Burpee Broad Jumps, (5) Rowing, (6) Farmers Carry, (7) Sandbag Lunges, and (8) Wall Balls. The running course lead around the workout stations.

Each HYROX finisher receives a finisher patch at the finish line. No flags or patches are sent after the event. That means only Hyrox participants who finished and completed the race are entitled to receive proof of their participation on the same day.

Anyone can participate in HYROX. HYROX Glasgow 2024 was held at the SECC Scottish Exhibition Center in Glasgow last March, and SH was present around the SECC. However, SH can provide proof that he was the one who completed the race in Glasgow and received the finisher's patch at the end.

It seems SH has not reached a reasonable level of fitness. He couldn't train specifically for Hyrox for 4 weeks, say 3 times a week, and be ready to compete to complete it successfully. Most will prefer to train specifically for 8 weeks, to be better prepared, and up to 5 times a week to perform better that day.

If SH wasn't able to reach the fitness level required for Hyrox due to commitments, although he seems to have a lot of free time. Why, did he still sign up for Hyrox Men Glasgow, Hyrox Men Cologne, and Hyrox Men London consecutively, and He give up on participating? It seems that he didn't focus on improving his performance, as athletes usually do. Comparing oneself to others can be demotivating, and this could be one reason why SH lost motivation to participate in the race.

If Sam is SO competitive with a strong need for validation, and recognition, leading them to prioritise their interests over others, why not compete intensely in HYROX MEN. If he signed up for Hyrox it is to compete. Or this gives him something to focus on like being a HYROX PRO WOMEN’s cheerleader. 📣

He's far from the elite, but if he's just looking to have a good time and prove himself as an enthusiastic cheerleader in different ways, he'll never improve his fitness. It seems his motorbike mishap he suffered in 2021 when he tore his MCL and fractured his knee, requiring surgery, is still taking its toll on his body.

SH has never participated in the HYROX men's singles category, nor has he ever run in the HYROX Rotterdam or Paris events. Some of his fans seem to imagine him running in places where he has never been. However, in February 2023, he did participate in the HYROX Doubles category with his partner Nicolas (Nick). They competed as a team, sharing each training station according to their choice.

In Glasgow 2023 SH appears to have had difficulties, in two stations 1) Burpee Broad Jumps, (in the lowest position, the athlete's chest should touch the ground. The athlete then stands up and jumps forward, jumping and landing with both feet simultaneously - Sam did not do well at this station, as shown in this video). It appeared that his knee was stiff when he was in a plank position and then he attempted to stand up and jump with both feet forward.

2) Sandbag Lunges. (The athlete must lift the sandbag without assistance and place it over their shoulders. The athlete during each lunge, the rear knee must touch the ground. A repetition ends with knees and hips fully extended). There are no photos of Sam doing this station. As Nick said, he did the hardest job while SH posed. One thing is for sure with Nick - in every joke, there's a bit of truth.

It is unjustifiable to not honour a commitment. When Sam bought his ticket and confirmed his participation in HYROX, he personalised it with his name. There is no evidence that he was injured, and he decided not to attend the event in London. Or It is unclear whether he wanted to transfer his ticket to a friend or sell it. Who knows? 🤷‍♀️

SH has managed to join the Hyrox Pro Women cheer team. He feels more comfortable being a spectator and cheerleader than being a competitor in the Hyrox Men category. It must be exciting for him to know what his future holds. Being a cheerleader requires a diverse set of skills in order to be successful. We will get to see SH's specialised techniques in action, and perhaps he will take private lessons that could change his life. While he may not be as physically active as the Hyrox Men competitors, he is still entertaining. Despite this, he may not impress as much as the other competitors do.

There is always someone who believes that SH by registering and then not participating in Hyrox is aiming to confuse their fans. 😂 (pure idiocy) This only confuses those who do not understand the true meaning of competition and what it entails. His faults have become more evident, making it difficult to decide to compete in Hyrox. Despite this, in recent months he has gained a new fangirl who does not participate with him in the Hyrox mixed doubles. Can you guess why?

SH's idea of competitiveness involves providing cloakroom service by holding crossbody bags while the girls compete. He must have been very proud to show off that style at the Hyrox Olympia in London 🙄
