Labrunie Elise Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Elise, first off, huge congrats on completing the 2024 Marseille Hyrox! Coming in at overall rank 88 and 19th in your age group is a fantastic achievement, especially in a competitive field of 109 athletes. Your overall time of 01:39:17 shows that you’ve got what it takes to compete at a high level.

Now, let’s talk about your performance profile. With a total running time of 00:46:08, you’ve demonstrated that you have a runner's edge—faster than average, no less! However, your pacing in the early running segments suggests you might have started off a bit too slow, particularly in Running 1 at 00:06:31, which was 1:24 slower than average. You might want to consider ramping up your initial pace to capitalize on your strong running capabilities. Remember, the only time it's okay to go slow is when you're waiting for your coffee to brew! ☕️

Overall, you have a hybrid profile, but to really shine, you’ll need to elevate your strength segments, particularly the Sled Push and Sled Pull. This is where we’ll focus our energy moving forward—turning those weaknesses into strengths!

Segments to Improve:

Let's break down the segments where you can make some serious gains:

• Sled Push: 00:06:21 (1:45 slower than average)
• Sled Pull: 00:10:23 (2:45 slower than average)

These two segments are where you lost significant time. Here’s how to turn things around:

• Sled Push: This is a power and speed challenge. To improve:
  • Drills: Incorporate heavy sled pushes into your weekly routine. Aim for 4-5 sets of 20-30 meters, focusing on explosive starts and maintaining form.
  • Technique: Keep your body low and drive through your heels to maximize power. Think of it as trying to push a stubborn friend out of your way—keep your core tight!
  • Strength Work: Add in squats and lunges to build leg strength. Consider front squats for core engagement, which can help stabilize you during the push.
• Sled Pull: This can be a real leg and back burner, but you can dominate it!
  • Drills: Practice the sled pull using different variations (low vs. high handles) to find what suits you best. Aim for 3-4 sets of 30 meters. Think of it as a race against gravity—who’s going to win?
  • Core Strength: Incorporate planks and rotational exercises to strengthen your core, which is crucial for stabilizing your movements during the pull.
  • Technique: Focus on keeping your hips low and driving your legs back. Visualize pulling a boat to shore—keep that tension and don’t let it drift away!

Race Strategies:

Here are some key strategies to implement during your next race:

• Pacing: Start with a slightly faster pace in your first run segment. You’ve got the speed; don’t be afraid to use it early on!
• Transitions: Your roxzone took a hit at 00:07:31 (22 seconds slower than average). Focus on quick transitions. Practice moving from one station to another like you’re late for a meeting—no time to waste!
• Mindset: While racing, keep repeating positive affirmations to yourself. Something like, “I am strong. I am fast. I will crush the sleds!”

Conclusion:

Elise, you’ve shown that you have the heart and hustle to compete at this level. With some focused training on those sled segments and improving transitions, you’ll be well on your way to breaking into the top ranks. Remember, every great athlete was once a beginner who refused to give up. Embrace the grind, keep pushing your limits, and don’t forget to enjoy the ride. As David Goggins says, “You’re not going to find your best self until you start to get comfortable being uncomfortable.” 💪

Now go out there and smash those sleds like they owe you money! You’ve got this, and I’m here to help every step of the way. Together, we’ll get you to the next level. Keep grinding, Elise! The Rox-Coach is always in your corner! 💥🏆
