HYROX Jakarta — 1:05:09 in Mixed Doubles with Hannah Howman the strongest partner💥
My first HYROX. One month of preparation. And the opportunity to join the race after winning a ticket thanks to Fly AirAsia and ISLAND FITNESS | Social Fitness & Wellness Club .
It’s not badminton… but the mindset behind it is exactly the same.
In a badminton match, just like in HYROX, performance is not only about physical ability. It’s about staying calm when it hurts, staying focused under pressure, accepting discomfort, and finding a way to keep going — point after point, station after station.
Badminton teaches you not to panic after a mistake, to reset quickly, to adapt, and to make the right decisions when you’re tired and under pressure.
HYROX felt exactly the same: you can’t always control the pain, but you can control your attitude, your pace, your commitment, and how you respond when things get tough.
Proud to have shared this race with my partner and happy with our time: 1:05:09. But more than the result, what I’ll remember is the energy around us.
A big thanks to our coaches Johnny Tieu , Coco Chan , Wira, and Hector, who pushed us and motivated us at every training session with the right energy.
And thank you to Terry Omata , Irfan Haarys Bachdim , B E L L A 🥀 and all the other ones from ISLAND SPORTS 🌴 Sports who were there to support us, cheer for us, take pictures, and bring such a strong vibe.
Badminton, HYROX, business, life… the mindset is the same:
show up, stay focused, embrace the challenge, and keep moving forward. 🔥
