South African fitness influencer Nozipho Shinga recently tackled the Hyrox Johannesburg event—and gave fans a sneak peek into her race-day bag. Here’s what the beginner-turned-competitor carries for the grind.
Passport – “No race without this.”
Extra outfit & towel – Plus lotion for good measure.
Nike shoes + a warm top from Cotton On.
Training-tested gel – “Same gel I’ve been using. Don’t try new things on race day.”
Banana – “Monkeys don’t cramp up.”
Rice cakes – One pre-race, one mid-race.
Energy booster gel – Among the supplements.
