Overall Performance:

Christian O. Ramirez Serrano T. performed impressively in the 2024 Ciudad de Mexico Hyrox event. His overall rank of 209, placing him within the top 23% of all athletes is commendable. In his age group (35-39), he ranked 45, placing him in the top 25%.

His total running time was slower than average by 02:23, indicating that he has a strength-based profile rather than a runner profile. His pacing seemed to be slower in the initial stages of the race, with his first running segment being 02:15 slower than average. However, he managed to improve his pace in the subsequent running segments. He performed exceptionally well in the Roxzone segment, finishing 01:21 faster than average, indicating an efficient transition time and good overall fitness.

Segments to Improve:

• Run Total: Christian's total running time was 03:56 slower than the 25th percentile. To enhance his running performance, he needs to focus on endurance and speed training. Incorporating interval training sessions, such as speed drills and hill sprints, and long, steady runs into his routine will likely improve his overall running capacity. Additionally, focusing on running mechanics, such as stride length and foot strike, could also lead to improvements.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Christian's performance in this segment was slower than the 25th percentile by 01:29. To improve, he should incorporate plyometric exercises like box jumps and jumping lunges to enhance power and agility. Additionally, improving burpee form, ensuring full hip extension during the jump and maintaining a tight core, can contribute to better performance.
• Ski Erg: Christian's performance in this segment was slower than the 25th percentile by 00:42. To improve, he should focus on strengthening his upper body and core, as these are crucial for this exercise. Exercises like pull-ups, seated rows, and cable pulldowns can help. Training on the Ski Erg itself, focusing on technique, particularly the pull and recovery phases, will also be beneficial.
• Wall Balls: Christian's performance was 00:33 slower than the 25th percentile. He should work on his squat form and power, as well as shoulder strength. Squats, lunges, and overhead presses are good exercises to incorporate into his training routine.
• Rowing: Christian's rowing segment was slower than the 25th percentile by 00:28. To improve, he should concentrate on building up his lower body strength and improving his rowing technique. Deadlifts, squats, and leg presses can help strengthen the lower body, while drills focused on the catch, drive, and recovery phases of the rowing stroke can enhance technique.

Race Strategies:

Christian should aim to start at a steady pace, conserve energy in the initial stages of the race and gradually increase his speed. This will prevent early fatigue and allow him to have enough energy for the final segments. He should also prioritize efficient transitions between exercises and running, minimizing rest time in the Roxzone. This could be achieved through high-intensity interval training, which simulates the quick changes in intensity experienced in the race. Lastly, focusing on proper form during each exercise will not only help his performance but also prevent injuries.
