Dumora Arnaud Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Arnaud Dumora, competing in the 35-39 age group at the 2024 Paris HYROX event, showcased a mixed performance in the competition. Despite his overall rank of 1328, putting him in the top 84% of all athletes, and a rank of 248 in his age group, placing him in the top 87%, Arnaud demonstrated remarkable strength in certain segments of the race. The standout segments for Arnaud were the Burpees Broad Jump, Farmers Carry, Sandbag Lunges, and Wall Balls, where he ranked in the top 10 percentile. However, his overall time of 01:44:42 indicates there is room for improvement, particularly in his roxzone time and running segments. His total running time of 00:51:56 was 00:42 slower than the average, suggesting a need to focus more on his running training. In terms of pacing, Arnaud started the race quite strongly, with his time in the first running segment being 00:12 faster than the average. However, his time in the fifth running segment was considerably slower than the average, suggesting that he may have started the race too fast and lost energy towards the middle of the race.

Segments to Improve

• Arnaud's time in the roxzone was significantly slower than average, suggesting he may have taken longer to rest or transition. To improve this, he should focus on building his overall stamina and reducing transition time. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) could be beneficial for improving stamina, while practicing transitions during training sessions could help reduce transition time.

• Despite showing strong performance in the strength-based segments, Arnaud's total running time was slower than the average. To improve his running time, he should incorporate more running-focused training into his routine. Interval running, hill sprints, and long-distance endurance runs could all contribute to improved running performance. Additionally, focusing on running form and technique could also lead to more efficient running and improved times.

• In the Sled Push and Sled Pull segments, Arnaud's times were slower than the average. To improve in these areas, he should focus on building his lower body and core strength. Exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and lunges could help improve lower body strength, while planks, Russian twists, and sit-ups could help build a stronger core.

Race Strategies

For future races, Arnaud should consider implementing the following strategies:

• Pacing: Beginning the race at a more moderate pace could help conserve energy for later stages. This could be particularly beneficial in preventing a slowdown in the middle segments of the race.
• Transition practice: Practicing transitions during training could help reduce roxzone time, ultimately leading to a better overall time.
• Strength and endurance balance: While Arnaud shows remarkable strength, balancing this with improved running endurance could lead to a better overall performance.
