Camacho Gomez Carlos Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Carlos Camacho Gomez demonstrated an impressive performance at the 2024 Madrid HYROX event, finishing in the top 38% of his age group (45-49). Notably, Carlos finished with an overall time of 01:28:42, with his total running time being 00:43:28, which is 00:50 faster than the average. This indicates that Carlos has a stronger runner profile and excels particularly in the running segments. His best running lap was clocked at 00:04:39.

His pacing throughout the race was generally consistent. He started the race slightly slower during Running 1 but quickly made up for the lost time in subsequent running segments, with most running times being faster than average. However, he did lose substantial time in the final running segment (Running 8) and in the Roxzone, which indicates some possible areas of improvement.

Segments to Improve

• Roxzone: Carlos’s time in the Roxzone was 00:10:54, which is 03:48 slower than average. This indicates that he may have rested more or took more time to transition between exercises. To improve his performance in the Roxzone, Carlos should focus on improving his overall fitness level and work on his transition time. He could achieve this by incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) into his routine to build endurance and practice transitioning between different exercises swiftly.
• Running 8: Carlos lost considerable time in the final running segment, Running 8, which was 01:17 slower than average. This suggests that fatigue may have set in towards the end of the race. Therefore, focusing on endurance-building exercises like long-distance running and interval training could help improve his stamina. In addition, practicing running drills post-strength exercises may help prepare his body for the compromised running scenarios during the race.
• Wall Balls: Carlos was slightly slower than average in the Wall Balls segment. He could consider incorporating more strength training into his routine, focusing specifically on lower body and core strength. Squats, lunges, and medicine ball exercises could be particularly beneficial.

Race Strategies

To improve his race performance, Carlos can consider implementing the following strategies:

• Consistent Pacing: While Carlos demonstrated good pacing in most of the race, he started slower during Running 1. Practicing a steady pace from the start could help save energy for the later parts of the race.
• Endurance Training: Given the drop in performance during the last running segment and Roxzone, incorporating more endurance training could help improve stamina and overall race performance.
• Transition Practice: Spending less time transitioning between exercises could help shave off critical seconds from the overall time. Practicing quick transitions between different exercises during training could be beneficial.
• Strength Training: Although Carlos has a strong runner profile, incorporating more strength training, particularly targeting lower body and core, could help improve his performance in the strength-based segments of the race.
