Puente Contreras Felipe Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Felipe Puente Contreras had a commendable performance at the 2024 Ciudad de Mexico HYROX race. His overall time of 01:22:19 placed him in the top 15% of his age group (35-39) and in the top 13% overall, a significant achievement given the competitive nature of the event. His strength lies particularly in sled push and sled pull segments where he outperformed the average by 00:55 and 00:56 respectively, indicating that his power and strength are well-developed.

However, his total running time was slightly slower than average, pointing towards a potential point of improvement. His total running time of 00:41:52 was 00:32 slower than the average. This, combined with the fact that he started slower than average in Running 1, suggests that he might have a better strength profile than a running profile.

His transitions, as highlighted by the Roxzone time, also slightly slower than average, indicating a need to improve overall fitness and transition efficiency.

Segments to Improve:

The segments where Felipe can make the most improvements include his total run time, burpees broad jump, Roxzone, wall balls, farmers carry, and ski erg.

• Total Run Time: To improve his running performance, Felipe could incorporate interval training, hill running, and speed drills into his routine. A focus on endurance training, such as long, slow runs, can help improve his overall running stamina.
• Burpees Broad Jump: A combination of plyometric exercises and strength training can help improve his performance in this segment. Exercises like squat jumps, box jumps, and weighted lunges can help improve power and explosiveness for the broad jump. Practicing burpees separately can help improve efficiency and speed.
• Roxzone: To improve his transition time, Felipe could practice transitioning between different exercises in his training. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) that includes different exercises can also help improve overall fitness and transition speed.
• Wall Balls: Felipe should focus on strengthening his lower body and core for better performance in wall balls. Exercises like squats, lunges, and plank can help improve strength and stability.
• Farmers Carry: Grip strength plays a crucial role in farmers carry. Exercises like deadlifts, pull-ups, and wrist curls can help improve grip strength. Also, practicing the farmers carry with increasing weights can improve performance in this segment.
• Ski Erg: Interval training on the SkiErg can help improve performance in this segment. Focusing on the correct form, particularly engaging the core and using the power of the legs, can also help improve speed and efficiency.

Race Strategies:

In terms of race strategies, Felipe should focus on pacing himself better throughout the race. Starting out too slow in the initial running stages can be rectified by incorporating a proper warm-up routine before the race and practicing pacing during training. He should also focus on improving his efficiency in transitions between exercises, which can cut down his overall time. Additionally, focusing on his running technique, especially during the later stages of the race, can help maintain speed without expending unnecessary energy.
