In her age group (35-39), she achieved a rank of 4, also in the top 3% of 112 athletes. Her total race time was 01:17:58, with a total running time of 00:38:01, which was 01:20 faster than the average for her finish time.

In terms of her splits, Mathwig performed exceptionally well in several segments. Her best running lap was completed in just 00:04:32, and she was consistently faster than average in running segments 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Additionally, she surpassed the average time in the Ski Erg, Rowing, Farmers Carry, Sandbag Lunges, and Wall Balls segments.

On the other hand, Mathwig struggled in certain segments, resulting in lost time compared to the average. The segments where she lost the most time were the Sled Pull, Burpees Broad Jump, Roxzone, Best Lap, and Running 1.

Segments to Improve

1. Sled Pull: Mathwig was 01:34 slower than the average time in this segment. To improve her performance, she should focus on developing her strength and technique for the sled pull. Incorporating exercises such as deadlifts, squats, and sled pulls into her training routine will help her build the necessary strength and power. Additionally, practicing proper form and finding efficient pulling techniques will contribute to faster times.

2. Burpees Broad Jump: Mathwig was 01:21 slower than the average time in this segment. To improve her performance, she should work on her explosiveness and endurance. Incorporating exercises such as burpees, broad jumps, and plyometric exercises into her training routine will help improve her power and speed for this segment. Additionally, focusing on maintaining a consistent pace and efficient movement during the burpees will help reduce time lost.

3. Roxzone: Mathwig spent 00:46 more than the average time in the roxzone. To improve this segment, she should focus on improving her overall fitness and transition time. Incorporating HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) workouts, circuit training, and specific transition drills into her training routine will help her increase her overall fitness and reduce transition time, ultimately improving her performance in the roxzone.

4. Best Lap: While Mathwig had an impressive best lap time, she was 00:11 slower than the average time in Running 1. To improve her performance in this segment, she should focus on her pacing and endurance. Incorporating interval training, tempo runs, and hill training into her running routine will help her improve her speed and endurance for the start of the race.

5. Running 1: Mathwig was 00:11 slower than the average time in this segment. To improve her performance, she should focus on her running technique and pacing. Incorporating drills such as high knees, butt kicks, and strides into her warm-up routine will help improve her running form and efficiency. Additionally, practicing pacing strategies during training runs will help her maintain a consistent and efficient pace throughout the race.

Strategies

To improve her overall race performance, Mathwig should consider the following strategies:

1. Pacing: Mathwig should focus on maintaining a consistent and efficient pace throughout the race. Starting too fast can lead to fatigue later on, while starting too slow can result in lost time. Practicing pacing strategies during training runs will help her find the optimal pace for each segment and avoid burning out.

2. Mental Preparation: Hyrox races can be mentally and physically demanding. Mathwig should work on developing mental toughness and resilience to push through challenging segments. Incorporating visualization techniques, positive self-talk, and mental rehearsal into her training routine will help her stay focused and motivated during the race.

3. Transition Efficiency: Improving transition time can significantly impact overall race performance. Mathwig should practice efficient transitions between segments during training to minimize time lost in the roxzone. This can include practicing smooth equipment changes, quick rest intervals, and efficient movement between stations.

4. Strength and Conditioning: Mathwig should continue to focus on improving her overall strength and conditioning. Incorporating a well-rounded training program that includes strength training, cardiovascular exercises, and mobility work will help enhance her overall fitness and performance in all segments of the race.

By implementing these strategies and focusing on the identified areas of improvement, Mathwig can further enhance her performance in future Hyrox races.
