Lam Kwok Kwong Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Kwok Kwong Lam, you crushed it out there! Finishing 371st overall and 115th in your age group out of a whopping 2712 athletes is no small feat—talk about making your mark! With a total time of 01:27:25 and a total running time of 00:37:59, your running performance is impressive, clocking in at 5:44 faster than the average. That said, we gotta have a chat about your pacing; your first running segment was a tad too fast, which might have cost you some steam later in the race. Think of it as sprinting to the fridge when you’re starving—great start, but then you realize you need to carry those snacks back to the couch! You’ve got a runner's profile for sure, so let's harness that speed while also building up some serious strength to tackle those challenging segments. 💪

Segments to Improve

Now, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of where we can amp up your game. The segments that left some room for improvement are as follows:

• Wall Balls (8:56) - Ouch! This one hurt. You were 2:17 slower than average. Focus on form: ensure your squat is deep enough and that you’re using your legs to drive the ball up rather than just your arms. Try 3 sets of 10-12 reps at home or the gym, gradually increasing the weight.
• Farmers Carry (3:59) - 1:45 slower than average. Time to work on grip strength! Grab some heavy kettlebells or dumbbells and walk for distance. Start with 3 sets of 40-50 meters and increase the weight as you improve.
• Sled Pull (6:07) - 1:07 slower than average. You need to build that pulling power. Incorporate sled pulls or resistance band pulls in your routine—3 sets of 20-30 meters should do the trick.
• Sled Push (4:09) - 1:12 slower than average. Push it! Literally! Focus on low, powerful pushes. Try 5 sets of 20-30 meters with moderate weights.
• Sandbag Lunges (5:29) - 17 seconds slower than average. Form is key here! Ensure your knee doesn’t go past your toes and keep that core tight. Go for 3 sets of 10 lunges per leg with a sandbag.
• Ski Erg (5:01) - 33 seconds slower than average. Time to get your arms moving! Add some interval training with 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off for 5 rounds.
• Burpees Broad Jump (5:11) - 15 seconds slower than average. Mix it up! Practice explosive movements with 5 sets of 8 burpees followed by a broad jump.
• Rowing (5:14) - 22 seconds slower than average. Let’s get those legs and back engaged! Try 5 sets of 500 meters focusing on maintaining a steady pace.

Race Strategies

During your next race, keep these strategies in mind:

• Pacing: Start strong but save some gas for the middle segments. Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint...unless you’re sprinting to the finish line, of course! 🏃‍♂️
• Transition Time: You spent 5:25 in the roxzone, which is quite a bit slower than average. This is where you can save precious seconds! Practice your transitions in training, and aim for a quick changeover between exercises.
• Hydration and Nutrition: Keep your energy levels high. Make sure to hydrate properly before the race and have a quick snack or energy gel available during transitions.
• Positive Mindset: Keep your head in the game. Remember, it’s not about being the fastest; it’s about pushing your limits. As they say, “What doesn’t challenge you won’t change you!”

Conclusion

Kwok, you’ve got the potential to take your performance to the next level! Keep training hard and remember to mix in strength-focused workouts alongside your running.
