Lee Leong, Justin Heng Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Lee and Justin, first off, let’s give a shout-out to your performance! With an overall time of 01:31:40, you’ve placed in the top 70% of 1355 competitors and landed at 87th in your age group. Not too shabby at all! 💪 You both showed solid endurance and strength, especially with your rowing and sled pull segments, which ranked in the 97th and 95th percentiles respectively. 🎉

However, it seems like your pacing strategy could use a little fine-tuning. The total running time of 44:59 is faster than average, which suggests you both have a strong runner profile. This is great, but it means we need to up your strength game to balance it out! Remember, it’s not just about speed; it’s about strength, endurance, and transitions. Just like a good cup of coffee, you need the right blend! ☕

Segments & Race Analysis:

Now, diving into the nitty-gritty, your race segments paint a vivid picture of where you excelled and where you could improve. The running segments were generally faster than average, especially with your best lap clocking in at 04:51, which is 41 seconds quicker than the average for your finish time. However, as we look at the sled pull and wall balls, there’s room for improvement. The sled pull was a bit of a slog at 04:42, which is 45 seconds slower than average, while the wall balls took a hefty 07:26, almost 2 minutes longer than the average. Ouch! 😅

As for your transitions, the Roxzone clocked in at 11:25, which is quite a bit slower than average, indicating that more rest or longer transitions occurred. This is critical as improving your transitions can save you precious seconds. Think of it as the pit stop in a race: the faster you get in and out, the better your overall time! 🏎️

Segments to Improve:

Let’s address the segments where you both can really turn the tide:

• Wall Balls: This segment saw a potential improvement of 02:29. You'll want to focus around 49% of your training on this. To improve:
  • Drill: Incorporate wall ball shots into your regular routines. Aim for sets of 20, focusing on form and explosive power. Increase repetitions as you improve.
  • Technique Correction: Ensure you’re squatting low enough to generate power from your legs when throwing the ball. Work on your rhythm—think of it as a dance move; you don’t want to miss a beat!
• Sled Pull: Here, you can shave off 00:42 from your time with a focus of 14% during training. To tackle this:
  • Drill: Incorporate heavy sled pulls into your weekly workouts. Start with moderate weight and gradually increase as your strength builds.
  • Technique Correction: Focus on your body position—keep your hips low and drive with your legs. Think of it like a deadlift; the more powerful your legs, the easier the pull!
• Burpees Broad Jump (BBJ): You can improve by 00:33. Focus on this segment for 11% of your training:
  • Drill: Practice the burpee broad jump in intervals. Aim for 10 reps, focusing on speed and form. Time yourself and aim to beat your own best!
  • Technique Correction: Ensure your landings are soft to maintain momentum. Balance is key—keep your core tight to maximize your explosive power!
• Sandbag Lunges: Potential improvement of 00:32, with a training focus of 10%:
  • Drill: Integrate heavy sandbag lunges into your routine. Aim for 3 sets of 10 lunges, switching legs.
  • Technique Correction: Keep your chest up and core engaged. Focus on a full range of motion to maximize muscle engagement.
• Rowing: With a potential improvement of 00:28, focus 9% of your training here:
  • Drill: Incorporate rowing intervals—30 seconds of maximum effort followed by 30 seconds of rest for 5 rounds. This will build your endurance and speed.
  • Technique Correction: Work on your stroke efficiency. Smooth, powerful pulls will keep your energy levels up.
• Farmers Carry: Small potential improvement of 00:16, with just 5% focus:
  • Drill: Practice farmers carries with increasing weights. Aim for distances of 50 meters, working on grip strength and stability.
  • Technique Correction: Keep your shoulders back and core tight. The stronger your grip, the faster you can move!

Race Strategies:

Now let’s talk strategy. During the race, consider the following:

• Pacing: Start strong but controlled. Your first running segment was on fire, but be cautious of burning out too quickly. Aim for even splits.
• Transitions: Treat your transitions as part of the workout. Practice moving efficiently between exercises. Time yourself during training to simulate race conditions. Remember, every second counts!
• Stay Hydrated: Make sure you’re hydrating adequately before and during the race. A well-hydrated athlete is a performing athlete!
• Mindset: Keep a positive mindset throughout the race. Remember, “It’s not about how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.” – Rocky Balboa. Channel your inner champion! 🥇

Conclusion:

Lee and Justin, your performance in Sydney was impressive, but there’s always room for improvement. With the upcoming races in Perth and Hong Kong, it’s essential to stay focused on your training and implement these strategies and drills. Remember, every drop of sweat brings you closer to your goal! 💥

Keep pushing those limits, and don’t forget to enjoy the journey. “Success is not owned, it’s leased. And rent is due every day.” – J.J. Watt. So let’s get to work and make those improvements happen! You got this! 🏆
