Moisy Naomie Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Naomie, you put on a strong display at the 2024 Marseille Hyrox competition! Finishing with an overall time of 01:43:26 places you in the top 80% of a competitive field, which is no small feat! Your total running time of 00:48:14 is impressive, clocking in 04:02 faster than average. This indicates that you have a solid runner profile, meaning you can push your limits on the track. However, your pacing shows some room for improvement. Your first lap, clocking in at 00:07:07, was significantly slower than average, suggesting you might have started too conservatively, potentially costing you precious seconds you could have used to close the gap. With a strong performance in running, your strengths lie in endurance, but you need to balance that out with some work on your strength and transition times. Remember, it's not just about finishing the race; it's about finishing strong! As David Goggins would say, “You are not done when you are tired; you are done when you are finished!” 💪

Segments to Improve:

Now, let’s dive into the segments that showed the most potential for improvement:

• Wall Balls: Your time of 00:07:50 was 01:44 slower than average, placing you in the 89th percentile. This is a critical segment that can drain your energy if not mastered. Focus on technique: ensure your squat form is solid, and practice explosive throws to develop power. Aim for high repetitions in shorter intervals to build endurance. Try doing sets of 10 wall balls, resting for 30 seconds, and repeat for 5 rounds.
• Sled Push: Clocking in at 00:04:38, this segment was 01:31 slower than average, landing you in the 97th percentile. This is a heavy-duty strength exercise that can be a game-changer if approached with the right intensity. Incorporate heavy sled pushes into your training, aiming for distances between 20-30 meters. Use a pyramid format: start with lighter weights for longer distances and gradually increase weight while reducing distance. This helps build both strength and technique.

Additional Tips for Strength Development: Consider including exercises such as heavy squats, lunges, and deadlifts in your routine. These compound movements will build the foundational strength you need for sled pushes and wall balls. Don’t forget to focus on your core stability; a strong core will help you maintain form during these grueling segments.

Race Strategies:

For future races, here are some key strategies to consider:

• Pacing: Start strong but controlled. Instead of a slow first lap, aim to find a rhythm that’s challenging yet sustainable. You should feel like you're pushing but not gasping for breath.
• Transition Efficiency: Your roxzone time of 00:08:45 was 00:22 slower than average. To improve this, practice swift transitions in training. Set up a mock race where you simulate transitions between exercises. Focus on minimizing downtime and getting right back into the next segment.
• Focus on Breathing: During high-intensity segments like the sled push and wall balls, control your breathing to help maintain energy levels. Practice breathing techniques during workouts to make it second nature during the race.

Conclusion:

Naomie, you’ve proven you have the heart of a competitor, and with some fine-tuning, you can elevate your performance even further! Remember, every athlete has room for growth. Embrace the grind, and always look for ways to improve. “Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work gains success. Greatness will come.” Keep that mindset. 💥
