Reyment Matt Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Matt Reyment delivered a commendable performance in the 2024 Perth Hyrox race, finishing with an overall rank of 274 out of 688 athletes, placing him in the top 39%. Within his age group (30-34), he ranked 79th out of 156, showing room for improvement. His overall time was 01:28:28.

A significant highlight was Matt's strong running performance, with a total running time of 00:39:28, which was 04:50 faster than the average, indicating a clear strength in running. His best running lap was 00:04:23, demonstrating his capability to maintain a swift pace. The initial running segments from Running 1 to Running 4 indicate he started conservatively, which is generally a smart strategy to prevent early fatigue.

This performance suggests Matt has a runner's profile but needs to focus on improving strength-based exercises and transitions within the Roxzone to achieve a more balanced performance.

Segments to Improve

• Burpees Broad Jump: This was the weakest segment, taking 02:27 longer than average. To improve:
  • Drills and Techniques: Practice burpee broad jumps with an emphasis on explosive power and efficient transitions between movements. Incorporate plyometric exercises such as box jumps and squat jumps to build explosive strength.
  • Exercises: Focus on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions that include burpees, emphasizing quick recovery and minimizing rest time.
• Sandbag Lunges: This segment was 01:28 slower than average. To improve:
  • Drills and Techniques: Work on building leg strength and endurance through weighted lunges and split squats. Focus on maintaining a steady rhythm and proper form to reduce time.
  • Exercises: Include lunges with varying weights and distances in your workout. Consider adding Bulgarian split squats to enhance balance and core stability.
• Roxzone: Time spent here was 01:08 slower than average. To improve:
  • Drills and Techniques: Practice smoother transitions between exercises to minimize time spent in the Roxzone. Focus on efficient gear setup and quick mobilization between stations.
  • Exercises: Incorporate transition drills into training sessions, simulating race conditions to enhance efficiency and reduce downtime.
• Wall Balls: This segment was 00:45 slower than average. To improve:
  • Drills and Techniques: Focus on wall ball technique, ensuring efficient use of energy. Practice maintaining a steady rhythm and consistent breathing during the exercise.
  • Exercises: Engage in repetitive wall ball sessions, gradually increasing the number of repetitions to build endurance.
• Farmers Carry: This segment was 00:29 slower than average. To improve:
  • Drills and Techniques: Enhance grip strength and core stability. Focus on maintaining a brisk walking pace while carrying weights.
  • Exercises: Perform farmers carry drills regularly, gradually increasing the weight and distance to build endurance.

Race Strategies

• Balanced Pacing: Continue with a conservative start but aim to slightly increase pace in the middle segments to capitalize on running strength while ensuring energy is conserved for strength exercises.
• Efficient Transitions: Work on reducing Roxzone time by practicing quick transitions and efficient gear handling during training. Familiarize yourself with race setup to minimize any transition-related downtime.
• Compromised Running: Practice running immediately after strength exercises to simulate race conditions. This will help in managing fatigue better during the race.
