Overall Performance:

Crispin BodenTebbutt demonstrated a solid performance in the 2024 Birmingham HYROX event, finishing in the top 19% of the total 4107 athletes and in the top 24% within his age group of 25-29. His overall time was 01:18:19, indicating a well-rounded fitness level and competitive race pace. Crispin showed a particular strength in running, with a total running time of 00:39:32, which is 00:08 faster than the average competitor in his category. His best running lap came in at 00:04:23, revealing a peak running ability that contributed to his overall rank.

His performance in the early stages of the race from running 1 to running 4 started slower than average but gradually improved, suggesting he may have started the race at a conservative pace before finding his rhythm. The analysis suggests Crispin has more of a runner profile, demonstrating consistency and speed in the running segments of the race.

Segments to Improve:

• Roxzone: Crispin's Roxzone time was 00:07:01, which is 01:10 slower than average. This indicates that he took more time for transitions between exercises. To improve this, Crispin could focus on conditioning exercises to enhance overall fitness and reduce rest times. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) could be especially effective for this, as it trains the body to recover more quickly from bursts of effort. Additionally, practicing transitions between different exercises could help to cut down time spent in the Roxzone.
• Burpees Broad Jump: His Burpees Broad Jump time was 00:04:52, which is 00:20 slower than average. To improve in this segment, Crispin could incorporate more plyometric training to enhance explosive power. Exercises like box jumps, jump squats, and jumping lunges could be particularly beneficial.
• Sled Push: Crispin's time on the Sled Push was 00:02:48, which is 00:06 slower than average. Improving this could involve focusing on strengthening lower body muscles like quads, hamstrings, and glutes through exercises like squats, lunges, and deadlifts. He could also practice the specific movement of sled pushing to become more efficient and powerful in this exercise.

Race Strategies:

In future races, Crispin could benefit from starting at a slightly faster pace. While it's important to conserve energy for later stages of the race, picking up the pace earlier could help him shave off valuable seconds from his total time. He should also focus on maintaining a steady pace throughout the running segments to avoid fatiguing too early.

Additionally, focusing on efficient transitions between exercises could significantly reduce his Roxzone time. This could involve practicing movements and positions for each exercise, ensuring he is ready to transition smoothly and quickly.

Finally, incorporating strength training, particularly for lower body and explosive power, could help him improve in the Sled Push and Burpees Broad Jump segments. This could involve a mix of weight lifting and plyometric exercises.
