Spragg Bobbi Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Bobbi, you crushed it out there in London! Finishing in the top 36% overall and the top 44% in your age group is no small feat. With a total race time of 01:28:34, you showed that you have a solid foundation. Your running profile is particularly impressive, clocking in a total running time of 00:40:50, which is 4:47 faster than average! That's a clear indicator that you’ve got a runner’s edge. However, it seems like you started a bit too slow in your first running segment. This could have set the tone for the rest of your race. Remember, pacing is everything—start strong but smart! 🏃‍♀️💨

Segments to Improve:

While you have a strong running base, there are some segments that need your attention if you want to elevate your game:

• Wall Balls (00:08:48): This was your weakest segment, and it cost you valuable time. Work on your squats and throwing technique. Try practicing wall balls in sets of 10-15, focusing on a smooth motion and consistent height. Incorporate single-leg squats and core stability drills to enhance your overall power and endurance during this exercise.
• Sled Pull (00:06:05): You spent a bit more time here than desired. Focus on your grip and form. When pulling the sled, engage your core and maintain a low stance to maximize power transfer. Incorporate heavy rope pulls and kettlebell swings into your training to build the necessary strength and endurance.
• Rowing (00:05:43): This is another area for improvement. Focus on your technique—short, powerful strokes with a strong finish. Practice interval training on the rower, alternating between high intensity for 1 minute and recovery pace for 1 minute. This will help you build stamina and speed.
• Ski Erg (00:05:21): You were a little behind the curve here as well. Ensure your technique is solid—drive with your legs while pulling with your arms to maximize efficiency. Consider adding interval sprints on the Ski Erg to build power and endurance.

Incorporate these drills into your weekly routine, focusing on each segment 2-3 times a week. This targeted approach will help you transform weaknesses into strengths over time.

Race Strategies:

On race day, the strategies you implement can make a huge difference:

• Start Strong, but Control the Pace: You have the speed; just control it! Aim to hit your target pace without burning out early. Focus on breathing and staying relaxed, especially in the early running segments.
• Transition Smoothly: Your Roxzone time was slightly slower than average. Work on your transitions during training to minimize downtime. Create a checklist for each transition so you can execute them efficiently during the race.
• Stay Mentally Tough: When you hit those tough segments like Wall Balls, remember what David Goggins says: "Most of us are only doing what we think we’re capable of. We need to push beyond that." Embrace the discomfort; it’s where growth happens!
• Focus on Hydration and Nutrition: Ensure you're properly fueled before and during the race. Small sips of water or an electrolyte drink can go a long way in keeping your energy levels up.

Conclusion:

Bobbi, you’ve got everything it takes to elevate your performance even further! Embrace the grind, work on those weaknesses, and keep pushing those limits. Remember, “The only way to get better is to train harder.” So let’s tighten up those segments that need polish and keep building on that impressive running strength you already have. You’re not just competing; you’re conquering! 💪💥
