Overall Performance

Wei Bin Tan delivered an impressive performance at the 2024 Singapore National Stadium HYROX event, achieving an overall rank of 18 out of 1,325 athletes, placing him in the top 1% overall and 6th in his age group. His total running time of 33:58 was 3:01 faster than the average, indicating a strong running capability. His best running lap was 3:51, showcasing his excellent speed and endurance. Based on his performance splits, Wei Bin demonstrated a strong runner profile, excelling in running segments but showing the potential for improvement in strength-based exercises. He maintained a consistent pace throughout the race, with no significant signs of starting too fast or too slow in the initial running segments.

Segments to Improve

• Wall Balls: This was the weakest segment, with a time of 7:01, which is significantly slower than the average. To improve, Wei Bin should focus on strength training and technique improvement. Exercises such as front squats and overhead presses can enhance strength in the necessary muscle groups. Incorporating wall ball drills focusing on proper form and breathing techniques can also be beneficial.
• Sled Pull: Wei Bin was 37 seconds slower than average. Improving his pulling strength through exercises like bent-over rows, deadlifts, and resistance band exercises can help. Practicing sled pulls with varying weights can also improve proficiency and endurance.
• Roxzone: Wei Bin spent 23 seconds longer in the Roxzone compared to the average. To enhance his transition efficiency, he should practice quick transitions between exercises, focusing on minimizing rest time and maintaining a steady pace.
• Ski Erg: To improve Ski Erg performance, Wei Bin should focus on developing upper body endurance and efficiency. Implementing high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions on the Ski Erg and incorporating exercises like lat pull-downs and tricep extensions can be effective.
• Rowing: His rowing was slightly slower than average. Improving rowing technique through drills that focus on stroke efficiency and rhythm, combined with exercises that enhance back and core strength, will be beneficial.

Race Strategies

• Pacing: Given his strong running ability, Wei Bin should maintain a steady running pace that capitalizes on his speed while conserving energy for strength-based segments.
• Transition Efficiency: Focus on minimizing time spent in the Roxzone by rehearsing quick transitions between exercises, ensuring gear and equipment are set up in a manner that allows for seamless shifts.
• Compromised Running: Practice running immediately after strength exercises to simulate race conditions and improve overall race endurance. This can be achieved through circuit training that combines running and strength drills.
• Technique Refinement: Regularly review and refine technique for each exercise segment to ensure efficiency and reduce unnecessary energy expenditure.
