Station 1 of 8
Hyrox SkiErg 1000m
1,000 metres on a SkiErg, straight off the first run. Arms, lats and core pull the handles down while the legs add a small bend.
Typical times and loads
Race split is the median athlete in each field last season, from real results. Fresh is the same effort done on its own. Pro athletes are fitter than the Open field, so a Pro time can be quicker even where the load is heavier.
| Category | Load | Fresh | Race split |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open Women | Body weight | 4:50 | 5:19 |
| Open Men | Body weight | 4:10 | 4:35 |
| Pro Women | Body weight | 4:30 | 4:57 |
| Pro Men | Body weight | 3:55 | 4:19 |
What a faster SkiErg is worth
Take 30 seconds off a fresh SkiErg 1000m and the predicted finish comes down by about 33 seconds. The station is raced tired, so time saved fresh is worth a little more on race day.
One thing that helps
Legs are fresh and the crowd is loud, so it is easy to go out too hard. Settle into a pace you could hold for the rower later, and let the hips hinge rather than pulling with the arms alone.
