Bridges Billy Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Billy, first off, let's give you some serious props for finishing in the top 24% out of nearly 3,000 athletes! That’s no small feat! Your overall time of 01:44:49 shows you’ve got grit, especially in the 40-44 age group. You’ve definitely got the heart of a lion, even if your running speed isn’t quite at cheetah levels yet. 🦁

Now, taking a closer look at your performance, it seems like you’re more of a strength athlete with a solid hybrid approach. Your total running time of 52 minutes is indeed slower than average, indicating that we need to ramp up your running training. The splits show that you started strong but might have paced yourself a bit too conservatively in the middle. The first run was promising, but the second run really slowed down your overall time. You’ve got the potential; we just need to polish some edges!

Segments to Improve:

• Roxzone (11:26): This segment is where you can really shave off some time. It looks like you took a bit of a breather between exercises. Focus on improving your transition times. Drills that simulate quick transitions can help, such as:
  • Practice quick changes between exercises in training, maybe even set a timer to keep yourself honest.
  • Incorporate circuit training where you move from one exercise to another with minimal rest, focusing on efficiency.
• Wall Balls (10:36): This is a big one! To tackle this, let’s look at your form and conditioning. Tips:
  • Work on your squat depth, aiming for parallel to ensure you're getting the most out of each rep.
  • Use a lighter ball to increase reps and build endurance, then gradually increase the weight.
  • Add plyometric squats into your routine to build explosive strength.
• Rowing (5:38): We need to tighten this up! Focus on your technique to make your strokes more efficient.
  • Practice interval rowing to improve speed and endurance.
  • Focus on your drive and recovery phases; a smooth stroke can help you save energy for later in the race.
• Ski Erg (5:08): Although you performed well here, there’s still room for improvement. Consider:
  • Increase your power output during intervals to boost your overall performance.
  • Work on your upper body strength to maintain form over time.
• Sled Push (3:21): You’ve got a solid push game, but let’s not rest on our laurels. To further improve:
  • Incorporate heavy sled pushes into your weekly training, focusing on short distances at maximum effort.
  • Consider resistance band training for your legs to build explosive strength.

Race Strategies:

• Start strong but don’t sprint: Your first run should be a solid pace, but save some gas in the tank for the later running segments.
• Transition like a pro: When moving from one exercise to the next, visualize it as a relay race. Keep yourself mentally engaged to minimize downtime.
• Break it down: During tough segments like wall balls or rowing, break them down into smaller sets. It’s like eating a giant pizza; one slice at a time, right? 🍕
• Fuel wisely: Make sure you’re hydrated and fueled pre-race. A well-timed snack can be the difference between feeling like a champ and dragging through the last laps.
