Fidel Antonious Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Antonious Fidel delivered a commendable performance at the 2024 Milan Hyrox event, finishing in the top 44% of overall competitors and in the top 47% of his age group. His total running time was impressively 00:21 faster than the average, indicating a strong running profile. However, his performance in strength-oriented segments like Wall Balls and Running 8 suggests room for improvement in these areas. The pacing seemed to start conservatively, with the first running segment slower than average, but showed strong subsequent laps until Running 8, where there was a significant drop in pace.

Segments to Improve

• Wall Balls: Antonious was 02:30 slower than average, ranking in the 96th percentile.
  • Recommendation: Focus on building shoulder endurance and improving squat form. Include exercises like overhead presses, wall ball shots with lighter weights for higher reps, and functional strength training with medicine balls.
  • Drills: Perform EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute) workouts with wall balls to improve endurance under fatigue.
• Running 8: This segment was significantly slower, 02:48 slower than average.
  • Recommendation: Include compromised running drills where you perform a strength exercise followed immediately by a run. This will help in adapting to the fatigue transitions more effectively.
  • Techniques: Practice interval training with short, intense bursts followed by strength exercises to simulate race conditions.
• Roxzone: Slightly slower than average, indicating potential time loss during transitions.
  • Recommendation: Practice quick transitions between exercises. Set up simulations during training to focus on minimizing downtime.
  • Exercises: Incorporate agility drills and plyometrics to enhance quick footwork and improve overall fitness.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Being 00:09 slower than average, there is room for improvement.
  • Recommendation: Focus on improving explosive power and endurance through burpee variations and plyometric exercises.
  • Drills: Practice burpee box jumps and broad jumps to increase power and efficiency.
• Sled Pull: Slightly slower than average.
  • Recommendation: Work on grip strength and pulling power by incorporating sled pulls with varying weights and resistance band exercises.
  • Exercises: Include deadlifts, bent-over rows, and farmer's carries to enhance overall pulling strength.

Race Strategies

• Optimized Pacing: Start at a moderate pace to conserve energy and gradually increase speed in the middle segments to maintain a strong finish without significant slowdowns like in Running 8.
• Strength-Endurance Balance: Integrate more hybrid workouts that combine running with strength exercises to improve overall race performance.
• Transition Efficiency: Focus on shortening transition times by practicing quick and efficient movements between exercises, reducing time spent in the Roxzone.
• Mental Preparation: Develop a strong mental strategy to maintain focus and push through fatigue, especially in later segments where performance tends to dip.
