Zamarripa Ale Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Ale Zamarripa's performance in the 2024 Ciudad de Mexico HYROX race showcases a strong athletic profile, with an overall rank in the top 4% of all athletes. This impressive ranking is reflected in her outstanding performance in both the running segments and strength exercises. However, a detailed look into her splits reveals room for improvement, particularly in her running times, transition times, and some strength exercises.

While Ale's total running time is slower than average by 01:15, she managed to perform better than average in individual running segments (Running 2, Running 3, Running 4, Running 7 and Running 8). This indicates that Ale started the race slower than average but managed to pick up the pace in subsequent segments. However, her overall running time suggests a need for improved pacing strategies and endurance training to maintain a more consistent speed throughout the race.

Her Roxzone time is slower than average, indicating that she may be taking longer to transition between exercises or requiring more rest time. This, coupled with a slower total running time, suggests a profile that leans more towards strength than running.

Segments to Improve:

• Running: Ale's overall running time needs improvement. Incorporating interval training, where periods of high-intensity running are interspersed with recovery periods, can help improve speed and endurance. Long-distance runs at a steady pace can also contribute to better overall running performance.
• Roxzone: To improve transition times, Ale should focus on exercises that enhance overall fitness, such as high-intensity interval training (HIIT), which can help improve cardiovascular fitness and stamina. Practicing the transition between exercises can also help reduce the Roxzone time.
• Sled Pull and Farmers Carry: These strength exercises were slower than average. Incorporating more strength training with a focus on grip strength and lower body power can help. Exercises such as deadlifts, squats, and farmer's walks can help improve performance in these areas.
• Ski Erg: Ale's performance on the Ski Erg was slower than average. Incorporating upper body and core strengthening exercises, along with aerobic workouts, can help improve Ski Erg performance. Specific drills on the Ski Erg focusing on technique and power can also help.
• Wall Balls: While Ale performed faster than average on Wall Balls, there is still room for improvement. Incorporating exercises that focus on lower body strength, power, and coordination, such as squats and lunges, can help improve Wall Ball performance.

Race Strategies:

Considering Ale's performance, a few race strategies can be beneficial:

• Consistent Pacing: Rather than starting slower and picking up pace later, Ale should aim for a more consistent running pace throughout the race. This can be achieved by setting a target pace for each run segment and sticking to it.
• Transition Practice: Practicing the transition between different exercises can help reduce the Roxzone time.
• Strength Training: Given Ale's strength-leaning profile, she should continue to focus on strength training but incorporate more specific training for the exercises she struggled with.
• Aerobic Training: Incorporating more aerobic training can help improve Ale's overall running time and endurance.
