Mendiola Tellez Maximiliano Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Maximiliano Mendiola Tellez, competing in the 35-39 age group, finished the Ciudad de Mexico Hyrox race in the top 73% of all athletes and the top 78% of his age group. He demonstrated a strong performance in several areas, particularly in the Sled Push, Sled Pull, and Farmers Carry segments where he finished significantly faster than average. However, his overall running time was slower than average, indicating a potential area for improvement. He appears to have a profile that leans more towards strength-based exercises than running.

Maximiliano started the race slower than average in the first running segment, but improved his pace as the race progressed, finishing the third running segment faster than average. This suggests that he may have taken some time to find his rhythm, but once settled, he was able to maintain a competitive pace. It is noteworthy that his transition times were excellent, as indicated by his roxzone time being faster than average. This suggests good fitness levels and efficient transitions.

Segments to Improve

• Overall Running Time: Maximiliano's total running time was slower than average. To improve this, he could incorporate more speed work into his training, such as interval runs and tempo runs. Additionally, long, slow runs can help improve aerobic capacity, which could be beneficial for maintaining a faster pace throughout the race.
• Wall Balls: Maximiliano's time in this segment was slower than average. He could work on improving his form and efficiency in this exercise, incorporating drills that focus on the squat and throw motion used in wall balls. Using a medicine ball of the same weight as used in the race during training can also help improve performance in this segment.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Maximiliano was faster than average in this segment, but there is still room for improvement. Specific drills that focus on the jump and push-up components of the burpee can help improve efficiency and speed. Plyometric exercises like box jumps can also help improve explosive power for the jump.
• Sandbag Lunges: Despite finishing this segment faster than average, there is still potential for improvement. Training with a sandbag of the same weight as used in the race can help improve strength and endurance in this exercise. Focusing on form during training, particularly the lunge motion, can also improve efficiency during the race.
• Rowing: Maximiliano's time in this segment was slower than average. To improve in this area, he can incorporate more rowing into his training routine, focusing on improving his form and efficiency. High-intensity interval training on the rowing machine can also help improve his speed and endurance.

Race Strategies

Maximiliano should consider starting the race at a slightly faster pace. As he showed an ability to improve his pace as the race progressed, starting faster could help improve his overall time. He should also focus on maintaining his excellent transition times, as these were a significant strength in his performance.

Given his strength-based profile, Maximiliano could also consider structuring his training to focus more on improving his running performance. This could involve dedicating more time to running in his training routine, or incorporating more running-specific exercises and drills. This could help improve his overall race time and balance his performance across both running and strength-based segments.
