Overall Performance
Hezael Castillo performed commendably in the 2024 Ciudad de Mexico HYROX race, finishing in the top 6% of 905 athletes and ranking in the top 10% of his age group (25-29). His overall time was 01:17:47, a competitive finish for his age group and nationality.
Castillo's strength lies in his running ability, as indicated by his total running time of 00:38:18, which was 01:03 faster than the average time. This, coupled with his best running lap of 00:04:15, highlights his athletic prowess and endurance.
However, there were segments where he started slower than the average, specifically Running 1 and Ski Erg, indicating a potential area of improvement. Despite these slower starts, Castillo managed to pick up pace in the later running segments, finishing faster than the average in each. This suggests a potential strategy for future races might be to conserve energy in the first half and then increase speed in the second half.
Segments to Improve
Burpees Broad Jump: This segment was Castillo's weakest, finishing 01:14 slower than the 25th percentile. To improve, he should incorporate more plyometrics into his training, focusing on explosive movements like box jumps and power skips. Practicing the actual burpee broad jump movement will also be beneficial.
Sled Pull and Sled Push: Castillo was slower than the average in both these strength-based segments. Incorporating more strength training, particularly lower body and core exercises like squats, deadlifts, and planks, can help improve performance here. Practicing the actual sled pull and push movements with varying weights will also be beneficial.
Ski Erg and Rowing: These segments require both strength and endurance. Incorporating more endurance training, such as long-distance running or cycling, as well as upper body strength exercises like pull-ups and rows, can help improve performance here. Practicing the actual ski erg and rowing movements will also be beneficial.
Race Strategies
Given Castillo's strong running ability, a potential strategy for future races could be to conserve energy in the early stages and then increase speed in the later stages. This would allow him to make up for any lost time in the strength-based segments.
Additionally, focusing on improving transitions between exercises (Roxzone) could also help reduce overall time. This would involve practicing quick transitions between different movements, as well as improving overall fitness to reduce the need for rest.
Finally, incorporating more strength training into his routine could help improve performance in the strength-based segments, potentially leading to a better overall time.
