Overall Performance
Faliq Ab Rahman performed well in the Hyrox race, finishing in the top 69% of 440 athletes overall and in the top 73% of 86 athletes in his age group. His overall time of 02:09:41 is respectable, but there are areas where he can improve to enhance his performance in future races.
In terms of pacing, Faliq's splits analysis shows that he was faster than average in the first running segment (Running 1) and the Sled Push, but slower than average in the remaining running segments (Running 2, Running 3, Running 4, Running 5, Running 6, Running 7, Running 8). This indicates that he may have started the race too fast and should focus on maintaining a more consistent pace throughout.
Additionally, Faliq's total running time of 01:12:22 is 12:16 slower than average, suggesting that he could benefit from improving his running performance.
