Soto Garcia Edgar Alejandro Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Edgar Alejandro Soto Garcia demonstrated a strong performance during the 2024 Ciudad de Mexico HYROX event. His overall rank of 842, placing him in the top 93% of athletes, and rank within his age group of 115, placing him in the top 91% of athletes aged 40-44, indicate a high level of fitness and competitive capability. However, with his total running time being 18:59 slower than average, it suggests that Edgar's strengths lie more in strength-based exercises than running, as evidenced by his exceptional performance in strength-related segments such as the Ski Erg, Sled Push, Sled Pull, Burpees Broad Jump, Rowing, Sandbag Lunges, and Wall Balls.

Edgar also showed a strong start in the first four running segments, but his performance slowed down in the later running segments. This could suggest that he might have started the race at a pace that was too fast for him to maintain throughout, leading to his slower times in the later running segments.

Segments to Improve:

• Run Total: Since Edgar's total running time was slower than average, incorporating more running drills into his training routines could help improve his overall running performance. These could include interval training, where he alternates between high-intensity running and slow jogging or walking, and hill runs to build his stamina and leg strength. Focusing on improving his running form, such as keeping his torso upright and relaxed, swinging his arms forward and back, and landing lightly on his feet, could also help improve his running efficiency and speed.
• Farmers Carry: Despite his strong performance in other strength-related exercises, Edgar was slower than average in the Farmers Carry. He could focus on improving his grip strength and endurance through exercises like dead hangs, wrist curls, and pinch grip lifts. Practicing the Farmers Carry with different weights could also help him become more comfortable with this exercise and improve his speed.
• Roxzone: While Edgar's performance in the Roxzone was faster than average, there is still room for improvement. He could focus on training his transition speed between exercises, such as by practicing quickly moving from one exercise to the next during his training sessions. Improving his overall fitness could also help reduce his need for rest between exercises, thus improving his Roxzone performance.

Race Strategies:

Edgar should consider implementing the following strategies during the race for better performance:

• Pacing: To prevent fatigue in the later stages of the race, Edgar should consider starting the race at a slower, more sustainable pace. This could help him maintain consistent performance throughout all the running segments and end the race with a strong finish.
• Transitioning: Edgar should focus on quick and efficient transitions between exercises, which could help save time in the Roxzone. This could involve planning his movements ahead of time and practicing these transitions during his training sessions.
• Strength vs Running: Given that Edgar's strengths lie more in strength-based exercises than running, he should consider focusing more on maintaining his performance in strength-based segments while improving his running performance. This could involve prioritizing his energy and effort towards the running segments, while still performing effectively in the strength-based segments.
