Overall Performance:

Congratulations Christopher Brooks on your performance in the 2024 Chicago Navy Pier HYROX event. Overall, you came in the top 52% of all athletes, and in the top 54% of your age group (40-44), which is commendable. Your overall time was 01:57:49, with a total running time of 00:58:47, which was 01:37 slower than the average. Your best running lap was timed at 00:06:27.

Based on your timing and splits, it seems you started the race strong, with your first running segment being 00:59 faster than the average. However, as the race progressed, your running segments slowed down compared to the average. This might indicate that you could work on your pacing strategy, perhaps starting a little slower and maintaining a more steady pace throughout the race. Interestingly, your strength segments such as Ski Erg and Sled Push were faster than the average, indicating a strength-oriented profile. We will focus on strategies to enhance your running performance while maintaining your strength performance.

Segments to Improve:

• Run Total: As mentioned, your total running time was slower than the average. To improve this, include more endurance runs in your training routine. Interval training can also be beneficial. Try alternating between high-intensity running and periods of rest or lighter running. Moreover, hill running can help build strength and endurance, improving your overall running performance.
• Wall Balls: Your performance in this segment was slower than the average. To improve, include more functional fitness exercises in your routine, like squats and kettlebell swings. Practicing the wall balls movement with a lighter ball can also help improve your form and speed.
• Burpees Broad Jump: This segment was slower than average as well. Plyometric exercises, like box jumps and burpees without the broad jump, can help improve your speed and strength. It's also important to focus on the efficiency of your movement during the burpees broad jump. Make sure you're using your legs to drive the jump, not your back.
• Roxzone: Your performance in this area was average. To improve, focus on your recovery and transition times. Including high-intensity interval training in your routine can help improve your recovery time. Also, practicing transitions between different exercises can help improve your speed in this area.
• Sled Pull/Sandbag Lunges: Both these segments were slower than average. For the sled pull, focus on your form. Make sure to drive with your legs and keep your back straight. For the sandbag lunges, include more lower body strength training in your routine. Exercises like squats and lunges can help improve your performance in this area.

Race Strategies:

Considering your performance, here are some strategies you could implement during the race:

• Pacing: Start the race at a slightly slower pace. This can conserve your energy for later segments where you might typically slow down.
• Transitions: Work on making your transitions between different segments more efficient. This can save you valuable time during the race.
• Recovery: Focus on your recovery during the race. Make sure to hydrate and fuel your body appropriately. This can help maintain your energy levels throughout the race.
• Strength Segments: Maintain your current performance in the strength segments. Your performance in these areas is currently above average.
