Daams Ferron Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Ferron Daams delivered a commendable performance in the 2024 Amsterdam Hyrox event, securing an overall rank in the top 15% and ranking 54th in his age group. His total running time of 00:36:06 was notably 2:51 minutes faster than the average, showcasing a strong runner profile. The initial running segments (Running 1 to Running 4) indicate a fast start, particularly with Running 1, where he was 57 seconds faster than average, placing in the 4th percentile. However, a slight slowdown was apparent by Running 5, suggesting that while Ferron has a significant advantage in running, he may need to manage his pacing better to maintain consistency throughout the race. His performance in strength-based exercises was less impressive, indicating a need for improvement in strength endurance to complement his running proficiency.

Segments to Improve

• Roxzone (00:06:24, 80 Percentile Rank): Transition times were slower than average, suggesting a need for improved fitness and quicker transitions.
