Inman - Hyrox

"Inman Mile"

The Inman Mile is an event for time:  

The lifter will take a bar onto the shoulders with a weight equal to 150 per cent of the lifter’s bodyweight. The lifter will then carry this weight a distance of one mile.

I figured I would give it a try with a barbell loaded to 50% of my bodyweight, just to see how long it would take.  After 100 yards, it was pretty uncomfortable and I moved my arm position around.  After 200 yards, I was ready to be done, but wanted to go at least a quarter mile.  After a lap I dumped the barbell at a time of 6:11.  I think I could have gone further had I used straps to hold onto the barbell.  Nowhere in the rules does it prohibit this, but I was informed that the general rules of all-round weightlifting prohibit straps.

Only 14 records exist by 11 men.  The furthest being Mark Rattenberry of 855.75 meters (over half a mile)  and the shortest being Gordon Fairey at 8 meters.  Last attempt was May 2015 (over 9 years ago).  Only 2 records outside of Britain.

Nice little mover that I finished in 16:58.  Step back and step forward burpees allowed me to meet the standard even though I was very slow.
