Matt Smalbach showcased a mixed performance in the 2024 Chicago Navy Pier HYROX event. Ranking at the top 54% among 1404 athletes and in the top 58% within his age group, Matt exhibited superior strength skills, particularly in segments such as the Ski Erg, Sled Push, and Rowing. His endurance and strength were evident in these areas, as he performed faster than the average. However, his overall running time was slower than the average, indicating a need for improvement in his running performance. Matt started the race at an impressive pace, but his speed decreased considerably in the latter segments, suggesting a possible lack of endurance for prolonged high-intensity activities. Overall, Matt appears to be more strength-oriented, with running as an area for improvement.
During the race, Matt should consider implementing a better pacing strategy. Starting strong is good, but he needs to ensure he's conserving enough energy for the latter parts of the race, where his performance seems to decline. He should also focus on a smoother transition between segments to save time. Finally, practicing active recovery between segments might boost his performance and endurance throughout the race.
