Fernandez Gallegos Nicolas Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Nicolas Fernandez Gallegos, competing in the HYROX category for age group 30-34, put up a commendable performance in the 2024 Ciudad de Mexico event. Overall, Nicolas ranked in the top 96% of 905 athletes and in the top 97% of 200 athletes in his age group. His total time for the event was 02:19:25. However, he had a slower total running time of 01:12:00, which was 02:20 slower than the average. This suggests that Nicolas has a more strength-based profile and needs to focus on improving his running performance.

It is worth noting that Nicolas started the race slower than average in the first running segment but improved in the later segments. This indicates that Nicolas might have started the race at a slower pace, which could have impacted his overall running time. However, his best running lap of 00:07:41 shows potential in improving his running performance with targeted training.

Segments to Improve:

• Running: Given Nicolas's slower total running time, he should focus on improving his running performance. Incorporating interval training, where he alternates between high-intensity and low-intensity running, could enhance his speed and endurance. Additionally, incorporating hill sprints and long, slow runs into his training routine could further improve his running ability.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Nicolas's performance in the Burpees Broad Jump was significantly slower than the average. To improve in this segment, he could benefit from practicing burpees with an added horizontal jump. This would not only enhance his lower body strength but also his coordination and agility.
• Roxzone: Nicolas spent more time in the Roxzone than average, indicating that he may need to focus on improving his overall fitness and transition time. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions could be particularly beneficial for improving his conditioning and reducing his recovery time.
• Sled Pull: Nicolas had a faster than average time in the Sled Pull segment, potentially indicating a strength imbalance. Focusing on strengthening his lower body and core could help improve his performance in this exercise. Squats, lunges, and deadlifts are all exercises which could aid in this.

Race Strategies:

In future races, it would be beneficial for Nicolas to start at a faster pace. This could help him make up for the time lost in the first running segment and improve his overall running time. Additionally, focusing on maintaining a steady pace throughout the race could help him conserve energy for the final segments where he tends to slow down.

Given his strength-based profile, Nicolas should also consider incorporating more strength exercises into his training routine. This could help him improve his performance in the strength-based segments, such as the Sled Pull and Burpees Broad Jump.

Lastly, focusing on improving his transition time and reducing his time spent in the Roxzone could help him achieve a better overall time. This could be achieved through improving his overall fitness and incorporating high-intensity interval training into his routine.
