Husmann Simon Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Simon, you rocked that Hyrox in Frankfurt, finishing in the top 90% overall and the top 94% in your age group! That’s no small feat. Your overall time of 01:47:28 shows that you’ve got the grit and determination to compete at a high level. However, looking at your total running time of 00:54:08, which is 01:44 slower than average, we see a clear opportunity for improvement in your running efficiency and transition times.

Your first running segment was a strong start at 00:05:18, indicating that you have the potential to blaze through the course. But as we move to Running 2, 3, and 4, the pace dropped significantly. It’s great to have that initial burst, but pacing is key—think of it like a marathon, not a sprint! Your performance suggests that you might have a better runner profile, but you'll need to work on your strength to balance that hybrid potential. Remember: "You are never done. You can always do more." - David Goggins. Let’s harness that energy!

Segments to Improve:

Now, let’s dive into the segments that need a bit more love:

• Burpees Broad Jump (00:09:03): This segment was your slowest, and with a 95 percentile rank, it’s clear you can improve here. Focus on your explosive power and stamina. Consider incorporating these drills into your routine:
• Burpee Box Jumps: Instead of jumping forward, jump onto a box. This will build explosive hip power.
• Interval Training: Set a timer for 30 seconds of burpees followed by 30 seconds of rest. Repeat for 10 rounds.

• Wall Balls (00:09:07): Close to your burpees, but let’s get that time down! Consider these techniques:
• Form Check: Make sure your squat is deep and your throw is powerful. A good wall ball is all about the rhythm!
• Target Practice: Use a lower wall to practice your throws, focusing on speed and form before adding height.

• Roxzone (00:10:16): You spent a bit too much time here, so let’s work on those transitions. Here’s how:
• Practice Transitions: Set up mock races where you focus solely on moving from one exercise to another more efficiently.
• Strengthening Exercises: Incorporate compound movement workouts that keep your heart rate up while building strength.

Each of these segments can become your strengths with focused effort and smart training. Remember, “The only way to get better is to put in the work.”

Race Strategies:

In your next race, consider these strategies:

• Pace Yourself: Start strong but control your speed in the first half. It’s all about finding that sweet spot where you can maintain strength without burning out.
• Use the Roxzone Wisely: Take fewer breaks and focus on your transitions. Quick sips of water and a few deep breaths can save you precious seconds.
• Set Mini-Goals: Aim to beat your previous split times for each segment. This can boost your mental game and keep you motivated throughout the race.

Conclusion:

Simon, you've got the tenacity and the potential to elevate your performance beyond what you achieved in Frankfurt. Your strengths are evident, and with a bit of focus on your weaknesses, you can truly unleash your inner beast. Remember, “It’s not about the time you put in, but the effort you put out.” Keep that in mind during your training sessions. And when you feel like quitting, just remember: “You’re not tired; you’re just getting started!” 💪

Embrace the grind and push yourself; the Hyrox world is yours for the taking. Let’s turn those weaknesses into strengths and dominate the next race. Stay hungry, stay humble, and let’s get to work! You've got this, Simon! 💥
