Noah Azzini demonstrated a solid performance in the 2024 Milan Hyrox race, finishing with an overall time of 01:33:31, ranking 788th out of 1371 athletes. This places him in the top 57% overall and in the top 60% of his age group (35-39). His running performance, with a total running time of 47:58, was slightly slower than the average by 01:26, suggesting that while he possesses a balanced skill set, he may have a slight inclination towards strength-based events. The initial running segments indicate that he started slower than average, which might have affected his overall pace and energy distribution throughout the race.

Segments to Improve

• Sled Pull (06:51): With a time 01:25 slower than average, this segment highlights a need for improvement in pulling strength and endurance. To enhance performance:
  • Drills: Incorporate sled pulls with varied resistance and distances in training. Focus on maintaining a steady pace and controlling breathing.
  • Strength Training: Include exercises like deadlifts, bent-over rows, and pull-ups to improve overall pulling strength.
  • Technique: Work on form, ensuring a strong stance and efficient, consistent pulls with a focus on engaging the core and lower body.
• Running 5 (08:35): This segment was the slowest compared to the average, indicating compromised running ability post-exercise. Strategies include:
  • Compromised Running Drills: Practice running immediately after high-intensity exercises to simulate race conditions.
  • Endurance Training: Incorporate longer tempo runs and interval sessions to build endurance and speed.
  • Recovery Techniques: Utilize active recovery methods to accelerate the transition between exercises and running.
• Ski Erg (04:59): Slightly slower than average, this segment could benefit from improved technique and conditioning.
  • Technique Drills: Focus on efficient stroke technique, ensuring optimal body positioning and pull power.
  • Strength Workouts: Include core strengthening and upper-body conditioning exercises like cable rows and lat pulldowns.
  • Cardio Conditioning: High-intensity interval training on the Ski Erg to improve cardiovascular efficiency and endurance.

Race Strategies

• Pacing: Develop a more consistent pacing strategy to avoid starting too slow, ensuring energy is conserved and distributed effectively across all segments.
• Transitions: Focus on reducing transition times in the Roxzone by practicing efficient movement between exercises and minimizing rest periods.
• Energy Management: Implement a structured nutrition and hydration plan to maintain energy levels and prevent fatigue during the race.
• Mental Preparation: Use visualization and mental rehearsal techniques to prepare for each segment, focusing on maintaining composure and confidence.
