Lee Ka Chun Ken Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Ka Chun Ken Lee, you absolutely crushed it out there! Finishing in the top 13% overall and top 45% in your age group is no small feat. Your overall time of 01:27:34 shows that you've got serious grit and determination. Plus, being 00:22 faster than average in total running time tells me you've got a runner's profile. Well done on showcasing your speed! 🏃‍♂️💨

However, it looks like your pacing in the first run might have been a bit too fast, which could be a factor in your later segments, especially with the sandbag lunges and burpees broad jump. You want to be more of a tortoise than a hare in these races—slow and steady wins the race, after all! 😉 Overall, you’re a hybrid athlete, balancing running well but with some room to grow in the strength department. Let’s dig into those segments that can really propel you to the next level.

Segments to Improve:

• Sandbag Lunges (00:08:06) - This is your biggest area for improvement, ranking in the 100th percentile. To tackle this, focus on building strength and endurance in your legs. Try these drills:
  • Walking Lunges: Start with bodyweight, then progressively add weight. Aim for 3-4 sets of 10-15 reps per leg.
  • Weighted Step-Ups: Use a bench or step with weights in hand. This mimics the movement and builds strength. 3 sets of 10-12 reps per leg should do the trick.
  • Sandbag Carries: Get comfortable with the sandbag. Walk for distance or time, increasing as you get stronger. This will help with endurance under load.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:05:40) - Ranking at the 66th percentile, you've got room to improve here too. Incorporate these drills:
  • Burpee to Box Jump: Combine burpees with box jumps to build explosive power. Perform 3 sets of 8-10 reps.
  • Broad Jump Drills: Focus on technique and distance. 3-5 sets of broad jumps for max distance.
• Sled Pull (00:05:01) - A 56th percentile rank shows it’s not your strongest segment. To improve:
  • Sled Pulls: Practice this regularly; focus on maintaining a strong core and good posture. Aim for 4-5 sets at varying distances.
  • Deadlifts: Strengthen your posterior chain. 3-4 sets of 6-8 reps will help you power through the sled pull.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start the race at a comfortable pace, especially in the first run. You want to avoid burning out early. Think of it as a marathon, not a sprint!
• Transition Time: Your Roxzone was faster than average, so keep that momentum! However, practice your transitions in training. Set up a mock course and time how quickly you can move from one exercise to the next.
• Mindset: During tough segments, remind yourself of your goals and visualize success. A little positive self-talk goes a long way—“I’m not just here to finish; I’m here to crush it!”
