Tessarin Andrea Riccardo Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Andrea Riccardo Tessarin delivered a solid performance at the 2024 Milan Hyrox race, finishing with an overall time of 01:16:43, placing him 58th overall and 2nd in his age group. Notably, Andrea's overall rank places him in the top 21% of the competition, and his age group rank is an impressive top 8%. However, his total running time was 00:17 slower than average, indicating a potential area of improvement in his running performance.

The pacing throughout the race suggests that Andrea might have started a bit too slowly, as his Running 1 split was significantly slower than average. Despite this, Andrea showed a strong finish, especially in Running 8, where he was 00:57 faster than average. This indicates a robust capability to accelerate in the later stages, showing potential for improvement in early pacing. Overall, Andrea presents a more hybrid profile, with strengths in both running and strength-based exercises, as evidenced by strong performances in segments like the Burpees Broad Jump and Sandbag Lunges.

Segments to Improve

• Roxzone (00:05:47, 00:42 slower than average)

  Recommendation: To improve transition times, Andrea should focus on enhancing overall fitness and practicing efficient transitions. Short, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions can mimic race conditions and improve transition speed. Specific drills include practicing quick transitions between exercises, and minimizing rest time during workouts.

• Total Running Time (00:37:31, 00:17 slower than average)

  Recommendation: Incorporate tempo runs and interval training to improve running endurance and speed. Andrea should practice running at a steady pace that's faster than his current average pace for extended periods, gradually increasing the duration. Additionally, hill sprints can enhance both speed and strength.

• Sled Push (00:03:49, 00:16 slower than average)

  Recommendation: Focus on lower body strength and explosive power. Incorporate exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and box jumps. Practice sled pushes with varying weights to improve strength endurance and technique.

• Sled Pull (00:05:40, 00:05 slower than average)

  Recommendation: Improve grip strength and back muscle endurance. Include exercises like farmer's walks, rows, and pull-ups in the training routine. Regular sled pull practice with a focus on maintaining form under fatigue will also be beneficial.

Race Strategies

• Start Strong: Work on pacing to avoid a slow start. Practicing even pacing or negative splits in training can help Andrea maintain a more consistent speed throughout the race.
• Optimize Transitions: Plan and practice smooth transitions between exercises to reduce Roxzone time. Establish a routine to efficiently manage equipment and movements between stations.
• Energy Management: Focus on energy conservation during the race by maintaining a steady effort level. Employ mental strategies to stay focused and motivated, especially during challenging segments.
• Specific Segment Focus: Prioritize improving weaker segments while maintaining strengths. For instance, allocate more training time to sled exercises and running intervals to balance out the performance.
