Lee Chanon Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Chanon, first off—huge shoutout for your performance at the 2024 Hong Kong Hyrox! Finishing 95th overall out of 2712 athletes and 13th in your age group is no small feat! That puts you in the top 3% and top 7% respectively; you’re crushing it! 💥

Now, let’s break it down. You’ve got a solid runner profile here. With a total running time of 34:42, you’re actually 2:17 faster than the average, which is impressive! Your best lap of 4:10 shows you can definitely fly when the legs are fresh. However, you might want to take a closer look at your pacing strategy. The first running segment was 18 seconds slower than average, which suggests you might have started off a bit too conservatively or just didn’t hit that rhythm right off the bat. But hey, it’s all part of the game!

On the flip side, the Sled Pull and Wall Balls are where you hit a few bumps in the road. These segments didn’t just slow you down; they were your biggest time sinks. Let’s tackle those areas to turn them into strengths, shall we?

Segments to Improve:

• Sled Pull (00:05:19): This was your slowest segment, ranking in the 97th percentile. This exercise is all about maintaining core stability while pulling that sled, so let’s get you stronger and more efficient.
  • Drill: Incorporate resistance band pulls and sled drags into your weekly routine. Use lighter weights and focus on your form first, then gradually increase the load.
  • Technique Tip: Keep your torso upright and engage your core. Think about driving your feet into the ground and pulling with your legs more than your arms!
• Wall Balls (00:05:53): Ouch! This segment needs some love. You ranked in the 82nd percentile.
  • Drill: Perform wall ball shots with a focus on explosive power. Try progressive overload; start with 10 reps, gradually increasing. Aim for a target height that challenges you.
  • Technique Tip: Make sure your squat form is solid—chest up, back straight, and drive through your heels. This will help with that explosive upward motion.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:04:24): Ranked in the 72nd percentile, this segment could be a quicker win for you!
  • Drill: Incorporate EMOM (Every Minute On the Minute) burpees into your training. Start with 5 burpees every minute, increasing reps as you improve.
  • Technique Tip: Focus on a smooth transition from the jump to the burpee. Try to minimize ground contact time!
• Roxzone (00:05:19): Slower than average, so let’s work on those transitions.
  • Drill: Practice quick transitions between exercises. Set a timer and aim to transition in under 10 seconds.
  • Technique Tip: Set up your gear in a way that allows for a smooth flow—think of it like a dance party, but with weights and sweat! 🕺
• Sandbag Lunges (00:04:21) & Farmers Carry (00:02:06): Both segments ranked lower than they should have.
  • Drill: For lunges, increase your volume and intensity. Use heavier bags progressively, and include split lunges for variety.
  • Technique Tip: Keep your knees aligned with your toes and engage your core throughout. For farmers, practice walking with heavy weights to improve grip and endurance.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start strong but not too fast! You want to be at a steady pace for the first run segment. Aim to hit around the average time, then increase your pace as you go.
• Hydration & Nutrition: Don't underestimate the power of hydration! Make sure to drink some water between segments. A well-hydrated athlete performs better—think of it as giving your car the right fuel! 🚗💨
• Visualize: Before your next race, take a moment to visualize your performance. Picture yourself nailing the transitions and powering through the tough segments. Visualization is key for success!
