Pulido Cortes Andres Felipe Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Andres, first off, congrats on completing the 2024 Hong Kong Hyrox! Finishing in the top 24% out of 2712 athletes is no small feat. You have some solid strengths, especially with your Ski Erg and Sled Push, where you absolutely crushed it, showing that you’ve got some serious power. Your pacing strategy, however, needs a little fine-tuning. It seems like you went out a bit too fast in the early stages—your Running 1 was strong but set you up for a slower overall running time. You’ve got a decent runner profile, but when it comes to strength, you’ve shown that’s where your heart lies. The key now is to marry those skills for a killer Hyrox performance. 💪

Segments to Improve:

• Sandbag Lunges: Clocking in at 8:04, this segment really needs some love. Focus on building strength and stability in your lower body. Try incorporating weighted lunges into your routine, aiming for higher reps with lower weights to build endurance. Also, practicing your form in front of a mirror can help you maintain proper posture, which is crucial for efficiency during the race.
• Wall Balls: At 8:19, you’ve got room to shave off some time. Try interval training with Wall Balls—perform 30 seconds of work followed by 30 seconds of rest. This builds both strength and aerobic capacity. Be sure to focus on your squat depth and throwing technique; a slight adjustment can lead to significant gains in speed.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Your time of 6:43 indicates you can definitely pick up the pace here. Work on your explosiveness with box jumps and practice burpee drills in sets. Start with single counts and gradually increase to double counts. The goal is to minimize transition time between the jump and landing.
• Farmers Carry: Slower than average at 2:46, this segment can benefit from grip strength and core stability exercises. Incorporate Farmer's Carries into your weekly routine, gradually increasing the weight. Don’t forget to focus on your posture; a strong core will help you maintain a solid grip for longer distances.

Race Strategies:

During your next race, aim for even pacing throughout. Consider starting a bit slower in the first few runs to conserve energy for the strength segments. Remember, it’s not a sprint; it’s a marathon with a side of burpees! Also, hydrate well before and during the race, and take advantage of the transitions—practice quick changes to minimize your Roxzone time. A good rule of thumb: if you’re looking for a breather, do it during the transitions, not the main workout segments!

Conclusion:

Andres, your performance shows that you’ve got the potential to improve even further. Focus on the segments that need work, and don't forget to keep that competitive spirit alive. Remember, “Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.” So take these insights, hit the training floor, and let’s turn those weaknesses into strengths! Keep pushing, and before you know it, you’ll be smashing your own records. 🏆💥
