- In her age group (45-49), she ranked 9th out of 30 athletes, placing her in the top 30%.
- Her overall race time was 02:00:10, with a total running time of 01:05:41. Her total running time was 06:44 slower than the average for her finish time.
- She had a strong performance in the Ski Erg and Sled Push segments, where she was faster than the average.
- However, she struggled in the Sled Pull, Running 2, Running 7, Running 6, Running 4, Running 5, Running 3, and Roxzone segments, where she was slower than the average.
Segments to Improve
1. Sled Pull: Mathilde Rouanet was 02:10 slower than the average in this segment. To improve, she should focus on building strength in her upper body and core.
- Specific exercises to improve upper body and core strength include push-ups, pull-ups, and planks.
- She should also work on her technique and form during the sled pull, ensuring she is using proper body mechanics and maximizing her power output.
2. Running 2, Running 7, Running 6, Running 4, Running 5, Running 3: Mathilde Rouanet was consistently slower than the average in these running segments. To improve her running performance, she should focus on both endurance and speed training.
- Endurance training: She can incorporate longer distance runs into her training routine, gradually increasing the distance to improve her cardiovascular fitness.
- Speed training: She should include interval training, such as sprints or hill repeats, to improve her speed and running efficiency.
- Strength training: To enhance her running performance, she should also incorporate strength training exercises that target the muscles used in running, such as squats, lunges, and calf raises.
3. Roxzone: Mathilde Rouanet spent 00:16 longer than the average in the roxzone. To improve her transition time and overall fitness, she should focus on improving her overall fitness and decreasing her transition time.
- Overall fitness: She should continue to work on her cardiovascular endurance through running, cycling, or other aerobic exercises.
- Transition time: She can practice specific drills to improve her transition time between exercises. This can include setting up a mock race scenario and practicing efficient transitions between each exercise.
Strategies
- Mathilde Rouanet should focus on pacing herself throughout the race to avoid burnout and maintain consistent energy levels.
- She should aim to maintain a steady and sustainable pace in the running segments to prevent fatigue.
- During the strength segments, she should focus on maximizing her power output and using efficient technique to minimize time spent on each exercise.
- It may also be beneficial for her to practice race-specific scenarios during training, such as combining running with strength exercises to simulate the demands of the Hyrox race.
