Leow Dwayne Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Dwayne Leow showed a commendable performance at the 2024 Singapore National Stadium Hyrox race. His overall rank of 729 places him in the top 55% of participants, while his age group rank of 167 positions him in the top 56%. Notably, his total running time of 00:50:17 was 6 minutes and 54 seconds faster than the average, highlighting his strong running capability. This suggests that Dwayne exhibits a runner profile, excelling in running segments but needing to enhance strength-based exercises. His pacing was consistent, although he started a bit slowly compared to the average in the first running segment, indicating a possible cautious start or warm-up period.

Segments to Improve

• Roxzone (00:13:24, 2:57 slower than average): Transition efficiency is crucial. To improve, focus on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to enhance overall fitness and speed up transitions. Practice drills that simulate race conditions, including quick equipment changes and dynamic warm-ups.
• Wall Balls (00:11:44, 1:44 slower than average): Incorporate wall ball workouts focusing on form and endurance. Use lighter medicine balls initially to perfect technique, then gradually increase weight. Include squats and plyometrics to build leg strength and power.
• Farmers Carry (00:04:36, 1:41 slower than average): Implement grip strength exercises such as dead hangs and kettlebell swings. Practice farmers carry with varying weights and distances to build endurance and improve performance under fatigue.
• Sandbag Lunges (00:08:15, 00:35 slower than average): Enhance lower body strength with lunges, squats, and deadlifts. Use sandbags of different weights to mimic race conditions, focusing on maintaining form and balance.
• Sled Push (00:04:55, 1:00 slower than average) & Sled Pull (00:06:43, 8 seconds faster than average): Improve leg strength and power through resistance training. Practice sled pushes and pulls with increasing resistance, paying attention to posture and technique.
• Rowing (00:06:01, 31 seconds slower than average): Focus on rowing technique and endurance. Incorporate rowing machine intervals and steady-state rowing in training sessions to boost cardiovascular fitness and muscle endurance.
• Ski Erg (00:05:14, 20 seconds slower than average): Work on upper body strength and ski erg technique. Include exercises like lat pull-downs, tricep extensions, and core strengthening to improve force generation and efficiency.

Race Strategies

• Pacing: Start the race with a steady pace to avoid burnout, gradually increasing speed as the race progresses. Monitor heart rate and exertion levels to maintain a sustainable effort.
• Transitions: Practice quick transitions during training to minimize time lost in the Roxzone. Familiarize yourself with equipment setup and disassembly under timed conditions.
• Strength Maintenance: Since Dwayne is a stronger runner, prioritize strength training in the weeks leading up to the race. Maintain running fitness with shorter, high-intensity runs.
