London EMEA Regionals – What We Learned

Last night’s London EMEA Regionals showed just how fast the level of HYROX is moving right now.

Men’s Race:

Hidde Weersma stole the show with a world record 52:42 and looked in control from the early stages. The pace at the front of the men’s field right now is on another level and if you want to be competitive in Elite 15, the bar has just been raised again.

Women’s Race:

The women’s race was extremely tight, with Sinead Bent taking the win ahead of Seka Arning and Emilie Dahmen, all finishing under the 59-minute mark. The depth in the women’s field now is very real and races are being decided in the final stations.

Who got a qualifying spot:

• Tomas Tvrdik

• Seka Arning

The Deciding Moments:

The races were really decided late:

• Final run pace

• Transitions

• Wall balls under fatigue

There was also some controversy in the women’s race around wall ball judging at the end, which just shows that at this level, every rep matters and small mistakes can cost major positions and World Championship spots.

Big Takeaway:

HYROX is no longer being won just on engine alone ...it’s efficiency, compromised running and how well you can execute stations when your heart rate is maxed.

That’s where races are being won and lost now. We are going to be bringing lots of education in the coming weeks in these areas to help you smash your next race!

Stay tuned Hybrid Racers 👀...
