Camelin Federica Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Federica Camelin demonstrated a commendable performance at the 2024 Hyrox event in Milan, achieving an overall rank of 220, placing her in the top 10% of competitors. Within her age group (35-39), she stands out further, ranking 31st, which places her in the top 7%. Her overall time of 01:29:24 shows that she is a competitive athlete with solid capabilities across both running and strength segments. However, her total running time of 00:46:42 was 00:27 slower than the average, indicating a potential area for improvement. The split times suggest that Federica started the race relatively slowly but picked up pace significantly in the later segments, indicating a strength in maintaining and increasing speed as the race progresses. Her profile leans towards a balanced hybrid athlete, with strengths in strength-based exercises like sandbag lunges and farmers carry, and potential improvements needed in both running and certain strength segments like the wall balls.

Segments to Improve

• Total Running Time: Federica's running performance, particularly in the initial laps, was slower than average, indicating a need for enhanced speed endurance. To improve, she should incorporate interval training with varying paces to build speed and endurance. Hill sprints and tempo runs would also aid in developing her ability to maintain a faster pace over longer distances.
• Wall Balls: This segment was significantly slower than average, suggesting a need to focus on explosive power and endurance in the upper body and core. Incorporate exercises such as medicine ball slams, thrusters, and wall ball drills with varied weights to build strength and endurance. Regular practice with a focus on proper form and breathing techniques will be crucial.
• Roxzone Transitions: Federica took longer in the transitions between exercise zones than the average, indicating a need for efficiency improvements. Practice quick transitions by setting up mock stations during training to simulate race conditions. Focus on minimizing rest time and ensuring smooth, swift movements between exercises.

Race Strategies

• Pacing Strategy: Federica should aim to maintain a consistent pace throughout the initial running segments to avoid starting too slowly, which can lead to time deficiencies. Utilize a pacing watch during training to develop an intuitive sense of pace.
• Energy Conservation: Emphasize energy conservation during the early parts of the race by maintaining a steady but manageable pace. This will enable a strong finish and help in optimizing overall time.
• Transition Efficiency: Focus on reducing Roxzone times by practicing efficient transitions. This includes having a clear plan for each segment, knowing the layout of the race area, and minimizing any unnecessary movements.
• Compromised Running Training: Since Federica showed potential improvements in compromised running scenarios (e.g., running after strength exercises), she should include brick workouts, where she transitions from strength exercises directly into running, to better simulate race conditions and improve her performance under fatigue.
