Overall Performance:

Tiina Veijonen delivered an impressive performance in the 2024 Milan Hyrox race, securing an overall rank of 139 out of 2043 athletes, placing her in the top 6%. In her age group (45-49), she achieved a remarkable 5th place, positioning her in the top 2%. Her overall time was 01:24:45.

Tiina's total running time of 00:40:10 was notably 04:06 faster than the average, indicating a strong running profile. Her best running lap was an impressive 00:04:10. This suggests she is more adept at running, while there is room to enhance her strength and transition segments.

Regarding pacing, Tiina's early running segments (Running 1) were slightly slower than average, indicating a conservative start. However, she gained momentum in subsequent running segments, consistently performing faster than average, showcasing her ability to maintain stamina and speed throughout the race.

Segments to Improve:

• Roxzone (00:08:52): Tiina's transition time was 02:46 slower than average, indicating a need for improved transition efficiency and overall fitness. Training Strategy: Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to boost cardiovascular fitness and practice mock transition drills to streamline movements between stations.
• Wall Balls (00:06:00): With a time 01:54 slower than average, this segment requires attention. Training Strategy: Focus on strengthening the core and lower body through exercises like squats, lunges, and medicine ball throws. Emphasize form to enhance efficiency and reduce fatigue.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:05:58): This was 00:27 slower than average. Training Strategy: Improve explosive power and endurance by incorporating plyometric drills such as box jumps and burpee variations. Emphasize proper form to maximize energy conservation.
• Rowing (00:05:39): Tiina was 00:25 slower than average. Training Strategy: Enhance rowing technique and strength through rowing machine intervals, focusing on rhythm and power. Strengthen upper body and core with exercises like bent-over rows and planks.
• Ski Erg (00:05:16): This segment was 00:16 slower than average. Training Strategy: Integrate ski erg intervals into training, focusing on stroke power and consistency. Strengthen the upper body and core with exercises like pull-ups and shoulder presses.
• Sandbag Lunges (00:04:28): Just 00:02 slower than average, but could be optimized. Training Strategy: Incorporate sandbag training, focusing on balance and strength. Perform lunges and carries to enhance endurance and form under fatigue.

Race Strategies:

• Efficient Transitions: Practice quick transitions between exercises to reduce Roxzone time. Develop a routine for equipment handling and positioning to minimize downtime.
• Pacing Strategy: Start at a moderate pace to conserve energy for later stages. Use the faster running segments to gain an advantage while maintaining a steady pace during strength exercises.
• Compromised Running Training: Introduce compromised running sessions, alternating between strength exercises and running, to simulate race conditions and improve stamina during transitions.
• Focus on Weak Segments: Allocate more training time to Wall Balls, Burpees Broad Jump, and Rowing to turn these into strengths and gain an edge in future races.
