1000 m
SkiErg
Hinge at the hips, long arms, crunch down — lats and core, not a tricep contest.

The Sled Finally Moved Like It Should
Five sets of 25 m at 76 kg. For three weeks the sled and I had a disagreement about physics. Today I stopped pushing it like a sprinter — arms locked, hips low, short choppy steps — and it glided. Lesson at 54: power is useless if your angles are rubbish. Filmed the last set for TikTok; watch an old man smile at a piece of steel.

Staircase Intervals at the HDB Block
10 flights up, walk down, times eight. My neighbours think I have lost my keys permanently. Stair work is the cheapest altitude training in Singapore — zero dollars, 100% humidity. Calves filed a formal complaint. Average 1 km pace after: 5:41. The heart remembers sprinting even when the knees pretend they forgot.

First Half-Simulation: Deeply Humbling
4 km of running split around SkiErg, sled push, burpee broad jumps and wall balls. I went out like it was 1994 and I was anchoring the 4x100. By the burpees I was negotiating with God. Finished in 48 minutes and lay on the gym floor contemplating my life choices. This is exactly why I signed up. Data logged. Ego benched.
HYROX Tips
Station craft, learned the hard way
50 m · 76 kg
Sled Push
Arms locked, hips low, short choppy steps. Push the floor away, not the sled.
50 m · 52 kg
Sled Pull
Hand over hand, lean back, walk backwards with purpose. Rope tight before you pull.
