Ahimada Eduardo Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Eduardo Ahimada gave a commendable performance in the 2024 Ciudad de Mexico HYROX PRO event, ranking in the top 51% of 354 athletes and the top 57% in his age group. His overall time was 01:52:43. However, Eduardo's total running time amounts to 00:53:05, which is slower than average by 02:54. This suggests that Eduardo's strength lies more in his endurance and strength-based activities rather than his speed in running. The pacing of the race for Eduardo appeared somewhat inconsistent, notably starting slower than average in the early running segments, with a notable improvement in later segments. This indicates a need for a more balanced approach to pacing, perhaps starting a bit faster to balance out the overall time.

Segments to Improve

• Running Total: Eduardo's total running time was slower than the average by 02:54. To improve in this area, he should focus on speed training to boost his performance. Some recommended exercises include interval runs, tempo runs, and hill sprints. Practicing these will help develop speed and endurance.
• Sandbag Lunges: This segment was slower than average by 01:29. To improve, Eduardo could incorporate more strength training into his routine, specifically targeting the legs. Exercises such as weighted lunges, squats, and deadlifts could help increase his strength and endurance for this exercise.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Eduardo's performance in this segment was slower than average by 01:47. This suggests a need for improved explosive power. Plyometric exercises, like box jumps, power push-ups, and agility ladder drills, could help improve this.
• Roxzone: Eduardo's roxzone time was faster than average but still holds potential for improvement. To improve transition times, Eduardo could incorporate exercises that improve general fitness levels and cardiovascular conditioning, such as high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts.
• Farmers Carry: This segment was slightly faster than average, but there's still room for improvement. Eduardo could benefit from incorporating more grip strength exercises into his training routine. Exercises such as farmers walks, dead hangs, and kettlebell swings could help him improve in this area.
• Rowing: This segment was slightly slower than average. To improve rowing times, Eduardo could focus on improving his form and technique, as well as incorporating more cardio and strength training into his routine.

Race Strategies

Eduardo should consider implementing the following strategies for better performance:

• Pacing: Eduardo should try to maintain a more consistent pace throughout the race, particularly in the initial running segments. This might involve starting a bit faster than usual to ensure a balanced overall time.
• Strength Training: Eduardo should increase his focus on strength training, particularly in the areas that directly impact his performance in the Sandbag Lunges and Farmers Carry segments.
• Cardiovascular Conditioning: Improving cardiovascular fitness will help Eduardo maintain a steady pace throughout the race and recover faster in the roxzone. Regularly including high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in his workout routine could help achieve this.
• Technique: Particularly in the Rowing segment, Eduardo should focus on refining his technique to ensure he is performing the activity efficiently.
