The segments with the most time lost were Run Total, Burpees Broad Jump, Sandbag Lunges, Running 4, Running 3, Running 6, Running 7, and Wall Balls. These segments will be the focus for improvement in the following sections.

Segments to Improve

1. Run Total: Carolin lost significant time in the overall running portion of the race. To improve this segment, she should focus on improving her overall fitness and running endurance. Incorporating interval training, tempo runs, and long-distance runs into her training routine will help increase her running speed and endurance. Strength training exercises such as squats, lunges, and deadlifts will also help improve her leg strength and power, leading to better running performance.

2. Burpees Broad Jump: Carolin lost time in this segment compared to the average. To improve her performance in Burpees Broad Jump, she should focus on improving her lower body explosive power and agility. Plyometric exercises such as box jumps, squat jumps, and lateral jumps will help improve her explosive power. Additionally, practicing proper form and technique for the burpees will ensure efficient movement and minimize time wasted during the exercise.

3. Sandbag Lunges: Carolin also lost time in the Sandbag Lunges segment. To improve her performance in this segment, she should focus on strengthening her lower body and improving her balance and stability. Exercises such as weighted lunges, Bulgarian split squats, and single-leg deadlifts will help strengthen the muscles used during lunges. Incorporating balance and stability exercises such as single-leg balance exercises and Bosu ball squats will also improve her stability during the lunges.

4. Running 4, Running 3, Running 6, Running 7: Carolin lost time in these running segments compared to the average. To improve her running performance, she should focus on both endurance and speed training. Incorporating interval training, hill sprints, and tempo runs into her training routine will help improve her running speed and endurance. Additionally, working on proper running form and technique, such as maintaining an upright posture and efficient arm swing, will also help improve her running efficiency.

5. Wall Balls: Carolin lost time in the Wall Balls segment. To improve her performance in this segment, she should focus on increasing her upper body and leg strength. Incorporating exercises such as squats, lunges, overhead presses, and wall sits into her training routine will help improve her strength and endurance for wall balls. Practicing proper form and technique, such as using the legs to generate power and aiming for accuracy, will also help improve her efficiency during the exercise.

Strategies

During the race, Carolin should focus on pacing herself properly to avoid burning out too early. It is important for her to maintain a consistent pace throughout the race, especially in the running segments. Starting too fast can lead to fatigue later on, while starting too slow can result in wasted time. By practicing pacing strategies during training, such as negative splits and interval training, Carolin can improve her ability to maintain a steady pace throughout the race.

Additionally, Carolin should prioritize efficient transitions between exercises and minimize rest time in the Roxzone. By practicing quick transitions during training and improving her overall fitness and endurance, she can reduce the time spent in the Roxzone, leading to better overall race performance.

In conclusion, Carolin Conradt had a strong performance in the 2019 Hannover Hyrox race, finishing in the top 17% of the field. However, there are areas where she can improve to further enhance her performance. By focusing on improving her overall fitness, running endurance, and specific weaknesses in segments such as Burpees Broad Jump and Sandbag Lunges, Carolin can optimize her performance in future races. Implementing race strategies such as pacing and efficient transitions will also contribute to better overall race performance.
