Fribourg Teddy Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Teddy, first off, let’s give a round of applause for your performance at the 2024 Marseille Hyrox! With an overall rank of 564 out of 1504 athletes and a time of 01:18:32, you’ve shown that you’ve got what it takes to compete at a high level. Coming in at the top 37% overall and 43% in your age group isn’t just good; it’s fantastic! 💥

Your total running time of 37:29 is impressive, especially being 2:06 faster than average, which indicates that you’ve got a solid runner’s profile. However, your pacing in the early running segment (5:54 for Running 1) was a bit slower than average, suggesting that maybe you started a tad too conservatively. Remember, a good race is like a fine wine; it gets better with a little time, but don’t let it sit too long! 🍷

Overall, you have a promising combination of speed and strength, but there are a few areas we need to sharpen to unlock your full potential. Let’s dive into the segments that need a little TLC!

Segments to Improve:

• Rowing (07:43) - This segment was your biggest time sink, clocking in at 3:04 slower than average. Rowing requires a blend of endurance and technique, so let’s focus on improving both.
• Technique Drills: Work on your rowing technique. Focus on your stroke sequence: Legs, core, arms, and then reverse. Use a mirror or a coach for feedback.
• Interval Training: Perform 5x500m rows with 1-minute rest in between. Aim for consistent splits, and push hard on the last 100m.
• Endurance Sessions: Incorporate longer steady-state rows (20-30 minutes) at a moderate pace to build endurance.
• Burpees Broad Jump (04:39) - You were just 1 second slower than average here, but every second counts in Hyrox. Let’s turn this into a strength.
• Technique Focus: Ensure you’re jumping as far as possible. Use a tape measure to track your jumps and motivate yourself to beat your own records!
• Drills: Add a set of 10 burpees followed by a broad jump, repeated for 5 rounds. Rest only as needed to maintain intensity.
• Strength Training: Incorporate plyometric workouts to enhance explosive power, like box jumps and depth jumps.
• Sandbag Lunges (04:36) - 2 seconds slower than average means there’s room for improvement here too.
• Form Check: Ensure your knee doesn’t go past your toes during lunges. Maintain a strong core and an upright torso.
• Strength Building: Include weighted lunges in your routine. Aim for 3 sets of 10-12 reps per leg.
• Endurance Work: Perform lunges as part of a circuit with other exercises to mimic race fatigue. For instance, do 10 lunges followed by a short run.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start with a strong but controlled pace. Aim to hit your splits more consistently across the first running segment rather than going out too fast or too slow.
• Transition Times: Your Roxzone time is 6:13, which is 19 seconds slower than average. Work on quick transitions between exercises. Practice moving seamlessly from one station to another in training.
• Mindset: Visualize each segment and commit to a mantra that keeps you pushing through the pain. Something like, “I am stronger than my excuses!” can work wonders.
