Teo Simna Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Simna Teo delivered a commendable performance at the 2024 Singapore National Stadium Hyrox race, securing an impressive overall rank of 166 out of 1325 athletes, placing her in the top 12%. In her age group (30-34), she ranked 49th out of 400, again falling within the top 12%. This demonstrates a competitive edge and a strong foundation in her fitness regimen.

Simna's total running time was 51:08, which is 2:18 faster than the average, highlighting her strength as a runner. Her best running lap was completed in 6:03. However, the analysis of her early running segments suggests she might have started slightly slower than optimal, with her Running 1 time being 52 seconds slower than average. Her consistent improvement in subsequent running segments indicates her ability to pace herself well as the race progressed.

Given her running advantage, it would be beneficial for Simna to focus on enhancing her strength-based exercises to balance her overall performance.

Segments to Improve

• Sled Pull: Simna's sled pull time was 3 minutes slower than average, significantly impacting her overall time.
  • Training Strategies: Incorporate heavy sled pulls into her training regimen, focusing on building lower body and core strength. Gradually increase the weight and intensity.
  • Exercises: Deadlifts, bent-over rows, and core stabilization exercises can improve strength and form.
  • Drills: Practice gradual increases in resistance to simulate race conditions and enhance endurance.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Completing this segment slightly slower highlights a need for improved explosive power and endurance.
  • Training Strategies: Implement plyometric exercises to boost power and agility.
  • Exercises: Box jumps, squat jumps, and dynamic push-ups can enhance explosive strength.
  • Drills: Perform high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions focusing on burpee variations.
• Sandbag Lunges: This segment was 22 seconds slower than average, suggesting room for improvement in strength endurance.
  • Training Strategies: Focus on leg strength and endurance training.
  • Exercises: Weighted lunges, step-ups, and leg presses can enhance muscular endurance.
  • Drills: Implement circuit training with a focus on lower body exercises to simulate race fatigue.
• Farmers Carry: Performance here indicates the need for grip strength enhancement.
  • Training Strategies: Incorporate grip strength exercises into her routine.
  • Exercises: Farmer's walks with varying weights and distances, wrist curls, and forearm exercises.
  • Drills: Practice carrying heavier weights over longer distances to build endurance and grip strength.
• Roxzone: Although faster than average, improving transition times can further enhance overall performance.
  • Training Strategies: Focus on quick and efficient transitions between exercises.
  • Exercises: Incorporate agility drills and quick-change movements in training.
  • Drills: Practice transitions using a stopwatch to simulate race conditions and reduce downtime.

Race Strategies

• Start Strategy: Work on starting the race with a slightly faster pace without compromising energy levels. This can be achieved through controlled speed work during training sessions.
• Pacing Strategy: Maintain a steady pace throughout the race, focusing on consistent running performance. Use her running strength as a strategic advantage during less taxing segments.
• Transition Strategy: Enhance transition skills to minimize time lost in the Roxzone. Practice efficient equipment handling and focus on maintaining momentum between segments.
• Strength-Endurance Balance: Given her strong running performance, Simna should focus on building strength endurance to balance her overall performance and improve on strength-intensive segments.
