Tsui Hon Nam Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Hon Nam Tsui demonstrated a commendable performance in the 2024 Singapore National Stadium HYROX race, securing an overall rank of 432, placing him in the top 32% of participants. Within his age group (40-44), he ranked 67th, positioning him in the top 35%. His overall race time was 01:38:51, and his total running time was 00:47:37, which was 01:02 faster than the average, indicating a strong running profile. He particularly excelled in the sandbag lunges and wall balls, indicating proficiency in certain strength elements.

However, his initial running segments were slower than average, suggesting a conservative start. He picked up his pace in the latter segments, indicating a strong finish, especially evident from his best running lap time of 00:05:29. This suggests a need to adjust pacing strategy to optimize performance from the onset, leveraging his strong running capabilities throughout the race.

Segments to Improve

• Roxzone: The roxzone time was significantly slower than average, indicating potential inefficiencies in transitions. To improve:
  • Drills: Practice quick transitions between exercises without compromising form. Set up a circuit and time transitions between each exercise.
  • Exercises: Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to enhance cardiovascular fitness and reduce recovery time between exercises.
• Sled Push and Sled Pull: Both activities were slower than average, suggesting room for improvement in strength and technique.
  • Drills: Focus on sled push/pull workouts with varying weights to build strength and endurance. Work on maintaining a low body position and using full body power.
  • Exercises: Incorporate leg press, squats, and lunges to increase lower body strength. Use resistance bands to strengthen the core and improve stability.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Slower performance indicates a need for enhanced explosive power and agility.
  • Drills: Practice burpee variations with a focus on speed and form. Include plyometric exercises such as box jumps and jump squats.
  • Exercises: Engage in core strengthening exercises like planks and mountain climbers to improve overall agility and explosiveness.
• Rowing and Ski Erg: Improvement in these segments can be achieved by refining technique and increasing upper body endurance.
  • Drills: Perform interval training on the rowing machine and ski erg to enhance cardiovascular efficiency and stroke power.
  • Exercises: Engage in upper body endurance exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups, and cable rows.

Race Strategies

• Pacing Strategy: Start the race at a slightly faster pace than current practice to leverage strong running abilities. Maintain a consistent pace throughout, avoiding the need to make up time in later stages.
• Transition Efficiency: Focus on reducing transition times by practicing quick gear changes and minimizing rest periods between exercises during training.
• Compromised Running: Practice running immediately after strength exercises to simulate race conditions and improve running performance when fatigued.
• Energy Management: Ensure adequate hydration and nutrition intake before and during the race to sustain energy levels and prevent fatigue.
