seal-mart slovenia’s participation in the HYROX competition in Vienna

In the Seal-mart Slovenia TEAM, in addition to regular work obligations, we also dedicate our time to physical activity and sports.

Proof of this is the TEAM representation of the company at last year’s Haloze trail run at distances of 14 and 22 km, when our colleagues ran through the beautiful Haloze. Our colleague Jernej Ivanovič also represented the company extremely successfully at the Ironman race in Barcelona last year and narrowly missed qualifying for the World Championship. He will be looking for the opportunity to do so again this June at the Ironman race in the Philippines, where our local Seal-mart TEAM will be cheering for him there, and we from home😀

On February 7th, colleague Leon Kaučevič represented the team at the HYROX race in Vienna. HYROX is an international race that combines functional training and running in a single, standardized format worldwide.

Competitors complete 8 x 1km runs, with one functional workout between each kilometer section, namely these 8 workouts in the OPEN MEN category, where Leon competed in the following:

1. SKI ERG 1km (cross-country ski simulation machine)
2. SLED PUSH 152 kg 50 m (sled push)
3. SLED PULL 103 kg 50m (sled pull)
4. BURPEE BROAD 80m (jumps)
5. ROWING 1km (rowing machine)
6. FARMERS CARRY 200m 2×24 kg (carrying kettlebell weights in each hand)
7. SANDBAG LUNGES 20 kg 100m (SQUAT WITH A BAG)
8. WALLBALLS 6 kg 100x v=3m (throwing a ball into a target from a squat)

Leon went to the competition for the first time and the goal was only to finish it under 2 hours and it was achieved without any problems, 1:41 hours, Leon’s comment:

I did not prepare for the race 100% according to plan, but daily recreational exercise is a good basis here. I estimate that with a slightly more systematically oriented approach I can achieve a time in the interval of 1:20 – 1:30 minutes at the second race, which will be in Bologna, Italy in April.

This kind of activity is something completely new for me, because here you work, if I may say so, on red lines, which, as far as the heart rate is concerned, means that it is an extremely dynamic and intense activity.

I would like to thank the company Seal-mart Slovenia for being able to represent the team colors in this way, the above means a lot to me,…

The race gave me an additional measure of motivation and in this way I recharged my batteries, as we say and the next challenges in all areas will be-are easier,…😀👊👍
