Reid Stevo Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Stevo, you put in a solid effort at the 2024 Anaheim Hyrox, finishing with an overall time of 01:22:20. That's an impressive feat, placing you 68th out of 143 athletes, and 12th in your age group of 25-29. You’ve showcased some real strength, especially in the Sled Push and Sled Pull, where you outperformed the average significantly. Your times indicate a well-rounded athlete, but let’s break it down further.

Your pacing was a bit all over the place, especially on the first run. Starting at 6:56 is like setting off for a marathon pace when you’re running a 5K—definitely not the optimal strategy for a Hyrox race! This suggests you might have started too slow, which led to a slower overall running time (42:22, a full 3:15 slower than average). Considering your strengths, it seems you're more of a hybrid athlete, but we need to work on your running efficiency to leverage that in future competitions. Remember, “You are stopping you. You are giving up instead of getting hard.” – David Goggins. Let’s dig into those segments that need your attention!

Segments to Improve:

• Burpees Broad Jump (00:04:54, 30 seconds slower than average): This is a key segment where you lost valuable time. Burpees can be taxing, and the transition to jumping requires explosive power. Focus on improving your explosive strength and metabolic conditioning.
• Drills: Incorporate box jumps and plyometric push-ups into your routine. Start with 3 sets of 10 reps at a high intensity, focusing on quick transitions.
• Form Correction: Make sure your burpee form is solid—chest to the ground, and a powerful jump at the end. Practice this regularly to improve efficiency.
• Running Total (00:42:22, 3:15 slower than average): Your pacing indicates that you need to work on your running strategy, especially in the context of fatigue management after intense exercises.
• Techniques: Incorporate interval training into your running regimen. For example, 4 x 800m at a hard pace with 2 minutes rest in between. This will build your speed and endurance.
• Compromised Running: After high-intensity intervals, practice running at a steady pace to simulate race conditions. This will help your body adapt to transitioning from exertion to running.
• Roxzone (00:06:52, 1 minute slower than average): Your transition times need some fine-tuning. It seems you might be taking more time to recover between exercises.
• Strategies: Incorporate faster transition drills into your training. Practice moving from one exercise to the next with minimal rest—set a timer and aim to decrease your transition time with each session.
• Overall Fitness: Focus on circuit training that mimics race conditions, allowing you to build endurance while practicing transitions.

Race Strategies:

• Start Strong: Don’t let that first run drag you down. Start at a solid pace that you’re confident can be sustained. Aim for a consistent pace that’s challenging but manageable.
• Pace Yourself: During the Sled Push and Pull, give it your all but keep in mind that you still need energy for the running segments. Try to maintain a steady effort throughout, rather than going all out.
• Visualize Transitions: Mentally rehearse your transitions. Visualize each movement to smoothen the process, reducing downtime between exercises.
