Hui Geena Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Geena Hui demonstrated a commendable performance in the 2024 Singapore HYROX event, achieving an overall rank of 207, which places her in the top 18% of all participants. Within her age group of 25-29, she ranked 42nd, marking her as a strong competitor in her category. Her overall race time was 01:48:26.

Geena's total running time was 00:57:47, which was 02:28 slower than the average, indicating that her running performance could be bolstered. Her best running lap was 00:06:21, suggesting potential in her running capabilities. Her performance across the first four running segments shows a balanced start, neither too fast nor too slow compared to the average. This suggests that she has a hybrid profile, with balanced capabilities in both running and strength exercises.

Segments to Improve

• Total Running Time: Geena's running segments were generally slower than average, with a total running time of 00:57:47. To improve her running efficiency and endurance, she should incorporate interval training, tempo runs, and long-distance runs into her routine. Specific drills like fartlek and hill sprints can enhance her speed and stamina.
• Sled Pull: With a time of 08:01, which is 01:00 slower than average, the sled pull segment needs attention. Geena can benefit from exercises that increase her upper body and core strength, such as deadlifts, bent-over rows, and core rotational exercises. Practicing sled pulls with varying weights can also improve her technique and endurance.
• Roxzone: Geena's transition times were slightly slower than average. Improving her transition speed can be achieved through circuit training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT), which can enhance her ability to recover quickly and maintain a high pace throughout the race.
• Farmers Carry: At 03:07, this was 00:28 slower than average. To improve grip strength and carrying efficiency, Geena should incorporate farmers walks with progressively heavier weights, as well as grip-strengthening exercises like plate pinches and wrist curls.
• Ski Erg: Geena was 00:19 slower than average. Focusing on her ski erg technique can be beneficial. She should practice maintaining a consistent stroke rate and power output. Upper body strength exercises, such as lat pulldowns and tricep extensions, will also aid in enhancing her ski erg performance.

Race Strategies

• Pacing: Maintain a steady pace across all running segments to avoid fatigue in later stages. Implementing negative split strategies, where the second half of a segment is run faster than the first, can help conserve energy for strength exercises.
• Transitions: Focus on minimizing time spent in the Roxzone by practicing quick and efficient transitions between exercises. This can be enhanced through drills that simulate race conditions and transitions.
• Strategic Rest: Plan short, strategic rest periods during strength exercises to prevent burnout and maintain form. This can be practiced during training sessions to optimize efficiency on race day.
• Compromised Running: Train for scenarios where running follows a demanding strength exercise. Incorporate compromised running drills into training, such as running immediately after sled pushes or farmers carry, to adapt to race conditions.
