Patenotre Victor Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Victor Patenotre's performance at the 2024 Singapore Hyrox event is commendable, ranking in the top 26% overall and the top 27% within his age group. His total running time was notably strong, clocking in 02:02 faster than average, indicating a runner's edge. This suggests he has a predominantly running-focused profile, which was further supported by his consistently faster-than-average running splits. However, his slower performance in strength-based segments suggests a need for improvement in strength and muscular endurance. Victor's pacing was well-managed, with no significant indications of starting too fast or too slow, maintaining a steady performance across the running segments. His quick transitions in the Roxzone further highlight his efficient running capabilities.

Segments to Improve

• Sandbag Lunges: Victor's time was 01:18 slower than average. To improve, he should focus on:
  • Strength Training: Incorporate barbell squats, lunges, and Bulgarian split squats to enhance lower body strength and stability.
  • Endurance Drills: Circuit training with lighter weights but higher reps can build muscular endurance, essential for maintaining form during fatigue.
• Wall Balls: His time was 00:48 slower than average. Recommended strategies include:
  • Technique Refinement: Focus on proper squat depth and explosive power from the legs to minimize reliance on arm strength.
  • Plyometric Exercises: Incorporate box jumps and medicine ball throws to enhance explosive strength and coordination.
• Sled Pull: Victor was 01:10 slower than average. Suggested improvements:
  • Upper Body Strength: Incorporate exercises like bent-over rows and deadlifts to strengthen the back and grip.
  • Functional Training: Use battle ropes and resistance band pulls to simulate sled pull conditions.
• Burpees Broad Jump: He was 00:24 slower than average. To improve:
  • Core and Plyometric Training: Perform core exercises like planks and mountain climbers, combined with burpee variations to build explosive power.
  • Technique Drills: Practice efficient burpee form focusing on minimizing ground contact time.
• Ski Erg and Farmers Carry: Both segments show minor time loss but can be optimized with:
  • Grip and Shoulder Strength: Perform kettlebell swings and overhead carries to improve endurance and grip strength.
  • Technique Focus: Maintain a steady rhythm on the Ski Erg and practice proper carrying technique for the Farmers Carry.

Race Strategies

• Energy Management: Maintain a steady pace throughout the race, avoiding early sprinting to conserve energy for strength-based segments.
• Transition Efficiency: Continue improving transition times by practicing quick gear changes and maintaining focus during the Roxzone.
• Compromised Running Training: Simulate race conditions by combining strength exercises with running intervals to improve endurance under fatigue.
• Nutrition and Hydration: Implement a consistent nutrition plan before and during the race to maintain energy levels.
