Billy White Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Billy, you crushed it out there at the 2025 Brisbane Hyrox event! Finishing 503rd overall and 54th in your age group puts you in the top 36% and 29% respectively—solid work! Your overall time of 01:19:30 shows you have the grit and determination to compete at a high level. However, we need to dissect your performance a bit to unlock that full potential.

Your total running time of 00:40:49 was 00:55 slower than average, which indicates that while you have the strength to tackle the challenges ahead, you might need to sharpen your running efficiency. Your best running lap of 00:04:23 shows you have speed in your legs, but pacing is crucial. It looks like you started a bit too fast in Running 1, which set the tone for some slower segments later on. You’ve got a hybrid profile, but there’s clearly room to enhance your running capacity—let’s turn those legs into pistons!

Segments to Improve:

• Running 3 (00:09:02) - This was your slowest segment and a significant drop from your other running times. It’s likely that you felt fatigue after the Sled Push and Sled Pull. To improve this, consider adding tempo runs to your weekly training. Try running at a pace that is about 10-20 seconds slower than your 5K pace for 20-30 minutes. This will help build endurance without burning you out.
• Sled Pull (00:04:51) - You were 00:20 slower than average here. Improve your technique by practicing the sled pull with varied weights. Focus on using your legs more than your arms, keeping your hips low and your core engaged. Incorporate resistance band pulls in your training to build explosive strength in your legs that translates to better performance on the sled.
• Sandbag Lunges (00:04:54) - This was another segment where you lost time. To enhance your performance here, work on your form and strength. Try weighted lunges and front squats to build strength in the muscles used during the lunges. Also, practice quick transitions in your workouts, moving swiftly from one exercise to another without losing focus.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start conservatively during your first run segment. Aim for a pace that allows you to maintain energy for the sled exercises. Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint—unless you’re running away from a bear!
• Transition Time: Your Roxzone time of 00:06:12 was 00:07 slower than average. Practice smooth transitions in your training sessions. Set up mock race scenarios where you move quickly between exercises. Make it a game—how fast can you get from the last burpee to the ski erg? Time yourself!
• Breathing Techniques: During running segments, focus on your breath. Inhale deeply before the effort and exhale forcefully as you push through the exercises. This will help manage your heart rate and keep you focused. Remember, breathe in courage, exhale doubt!
