Soriano Uriosteguo Cesar Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Cesar Soriano Uriosteguo demonstrated commendable performance in the 2024 Ciudad de Mexico HYROX race, ranking in the top 90% of all athletes and top 87% in his age group (40-44). His overall time was 02:08:12, with a total running time of 01:14:34, which is slower than average by 11:33. However, his best running lap time was an impressive 00:06:45.

In terms of pacing, it appears that Cesar began the race at a slower pace, as indicated by his first running segment being 02:31 slower than average. However, he picked up speed in the middle segments, with most of his running times faster than average. His speed, unfortunately, decreased significantly in the last running segment, which was slower than average by a significant 10:45. This pattern indicates that Cesar may have started too slow and exhausted his energy reserves towards the end of the race.

From his performance, it's evident that Cesar has a stronger profile in strength segments, with faster than average times in Ski Erg, Sled Push, Sled Pull, Burpees Broad Jump, Sandbag Lunges, and Wall Balls. His roxzone time was also faster than average, indicating good fitness and efficient transition times. However, his total running time indicates a need for improvement in the running segments.

Segments to Improve

• Run Total: Cesar's total running time was slower than average by 14:49. For improvement, he should incorporate more long-distance running training in his routine, focusing on maintaining a steady and sustainable pace throughout the run. Interval training can also be beneficial, alternating between high-intensity and low-intensity running to improve stamina and pace management.
• Farmers Carry: Cesar's Farmers Carry segment was slower than average by 20 seconds. To improve in this area, he should focus on grip strength exercises such as dead hangs, wrist curls and farmer's carries with incremental weight increase. Additionally, maintaining a good form, keeping the back straight and shoulders back, can also help improve performance in this segment.
• Sandbag Lunges: Cesar completed this segment faster than average, but there is room for improvement. Lunges with additional weights in the gym can help build strength and endurance for this segment. Also, attention should be paid to form, ensuring that the knee does not go past the toes during each lunge to prevent injury.
• Rowing: This segment was slower than average by 35 seconds. Incorporating more rowing exercises in the gym can help improve in this area. Focusing on the form, using the legs to push and keeping the back straight, can help optimize the rowing movement for maximum efficiency.

Race Strategies

For future races, Cesar should aim to start at a steady pace, not too slow, to ensure he has enough energy reserves towards the end of the race. He should also work on his transition times between segments to ensure no time is lost in-between. Additionally, focusing on his weaker segments during training can help improve his overall time.

Moreover, in strength segments, Cesar should aim to maintain a consistent rhythm, rather than rushing through the exercises, which can lead to fatigue. For running segments, he should focus on maintaining a regular breathing pattern to optimize his stamina.
