Choi Shing Min Vincent Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Shing Min Vincent Choi, you rocked that Hyrox race with a solid overall time of 01:26:11, landing you in the top 8% of 4462 athletes! That’s some serious hustle! 🏆 Your total running time of 00:35:23 is notably faster than average, showcasing your strength as a runner. However, your performance in certain segments indicates that while you've got the speed, there’s room to beef up the strength side of your game.

Looking at your pacing, it seems like you started a bit slower than the average in the first running segment (00:04:55), which might have set a less aggressive tone for the rest of the race. But you really picked it up in the latter running segments, especially with a stellar 00:03:55 lap that shows your potential when you’re in the zone. So, let’s keep that momentum going and work on those segments that need a little TLC!

Segments to Improve:

Here’s the breakdown of the segments where you can really make some gains:

• Wall Balls: Coming in at 00:10:14, this was your slowest segment, and it’s the biggest time sink. To improve, focus on your form: keep your core tight, aim for consistent depth, and find a rhythm. Try incorporating sets of wall balls into your training, aiming for high-rep workouts to build endurance. Aim for 3 sets of 15-20 reps, focusing on explosive power.
• Sled Pull: At 00:06:39, you lost some time here. Work on your grip strength and overall pulling technique. Practice with a heavier sled for short distances (10-20 meters) to build strength. Incorporate resistance band pulls to mimic the movement and strengthen your lats.
• Farmers Carry: Time: 00:02:55. Focus on grip strength and posture. Use heavier weights for shorter distances, and practice carrying them while maintaining an upright posture. This will help improve your efficiency and reduce fatigue during the race.
• Rowing: At 00:05:34, you lagged behind. Incorporate intervals into your rowing workouts. For example, 5 rounds of 500m sprints with a 1:1 work-to-rest ratio will help build power and speed. Pay attention to your technique—make sure you’re engaging your legs and core effectively.
• Roxzone: You spent 00:06:46 in transition, which can be trimmed down. To improve transition times, practice quick changes between exercises in your training. Set a timer and challenge yourself to move efficiently between movements.
• Sandbag Lunges: 00:05:19. Focus on lower body strength and balance. Incorporate weighted lunges in your routine, and try different variations like reverse lunges or walking lunges to build the necessary strength and stamina.
• Ski Erg: 00:05:00. Improve your efficiency by focusing on your technique. Practice short intervals (e.g., 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off) to build power and endurance. Make sure to engage your core and legs while pulling.
• Burpees Broad Jump: 00:05:19. Work on your explosiveness and core strength. Try incorporating burpee variations into your routine, focusing on speed and form. Set a goal to complete a certain number of burpees in a minute, gradually increasing your goal as you improve.
• Sled Push: 00:03:07. This is a strength-building exercise, so make sure you’re using proper form. Work on your leg drive and push mechanics. Try to include heavy sled pushes in your training, focusing on maintaining a strong posture throughout the movement.

Race Strategies:

During your race, here are some strategies to keep in mind:

• Pacing: Start your first run at a slightly faster pace to set a stronger tone. Aim to find a rhythm that feels sustainable but allows you to push harder than you did initially.
• Segment Focus: Mentally prepare for each segment. Visualize how you’ll approach the wall balls or sled pull before you hit them. Confidence is key!
• Transitions: Practice smooth transitions in your training. The quicker you can move from one exercise to the next, the more time you’ll save overall. Consider using a timer during practice to simulate race conditions.
• Stay Hydrated: Ensure you’re well-hydrated before the race, and consider quick sips of water during transitions if necessary—just don’t drown yourself!
• Mindset: Keep a positive mindset. Remind yourself that every rep counts, and visualize crossing that finish line. “The only bad workout is the one you didn’t do.”
