James Newbury and Dene Flude finished second in the Men’s Pro Doubles at HYROX Cancun 2026 with a time of 54:53. While that left them more than 2 minutes behind Dawson Miller and Marcus Wallace, and some way off their PB, it was enough to qualify them for the upcoming Elite 15 race in Brisbane where they will compete in the APAC HYROX Championships.
Considering they arrived in Cancun just 2 days before the race this was a strong, well-paced performance. There was relatively little variance in their runs with Runs 3 through 7 within six seconds of each other.
| Run 1 | 3:13 |
| Run 2 | 3:17 |
| Run 3 | 3:33 |
| Run 4 | 3:32 |
| Run 5 | 3:35 |
| Run 6 | 3:38 |
| Run 7 | 3:39 |
| Run 8 | 3:59 |
| Roxzone | 4:01 |
In the workouts they excelled with six top-5 finishes:
| 1000m Ski Erg | 3:40 (3rd) |
| 50m Sled Push | 1:45 (2nd) |
| 50m Sled Pull | 3:05 (2nd) |
| 80m Burpee Broad Jumps | 2:31 (17th) |
| 1000m Row | 3:58 (4th) |
| Farmer’s Carry | 1:35 (12th) |
| 100m Sandbag Lunges | 2:37 (4th) |
| Wall Balls | 3:17 (1st) |
This is a strong pair and we’ll be watching to see if they can contend in Brisbane with a spot at the World Championships on the line.
