García Rangel Edmundo Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Edmundo García Rangel displayed a commendable performance in the 2024 Ciudad de Mexico HYROX event, finishing in the top 42% of the overall athletes and in the top 43% of his age group (30-34). His overall time of 01:36:16 depicts his dedication and consistency. Edmundo proved to have a slightly more dominant running profile with his total running time being 00:01 faster than average. However, there seems to be a clear pattern indicating he might be starting his run segments at a slower pace than average, particularly visible in Running 1 segment. This could be an area of focus for future training to improve performance.

Segments to Improve

• Sled Pull: This was Edmundo's weakest segment, with a time of 00:06:59, which is 01:23 slower than average. To improve this, he could incorporate more strength training focussed on his lower body and core. Specific exercises could include weighted sled drags and pulls, and deadlifts. Also, working on his transition time and technique could significantly improve his performance in this segment.
• Burpees Broad Jump: With a time of 00:07:06, this segment was 00:49 slower than average. Increased focus on plyometric exercises like box jumps, broad jumps, and burpee variations can help improve power and speed in this area. Additionally, practising efficient burpee form and techniques can also bring improvements.
• Rowing: His rowing segment was 00:33 slower than average, which suggests a need for improvement in upper body strength and rowing techniques. Incorporating more rowing drills into his routine, and strength training for upper body and core, particularly pull exercises and movements mimicking the rowing motion, can help improve this.
• Farmers Carry: His time was 00:10 slower than average, indicating a need for improved grip strength and core stability. Specific exercises to work on could include farmer's walks with increasing weights, dead hangs for grip strength, and core stability exercises like planks.
• Roxzone: This segment was 00:14 faster than average, indicating a potential area for slight improvement. This suggests that the transition times and rest periods could be optimized further. Working on overall endurance and incorporating active recovery techniques during training could be beneficial.

Race Strategies

For future races, Edmundo should consider starting his running segments at a faster pace. By doing so, he can make up for potential time lost in the strength segments. He should also work on maximizing efficiency in his transitions between exercises to minimize the time spent in the roxzone. It would also be beneficial to strategize the exertion levels throughout the race, ensuring he has adequate energy for the more challenging segments. Finally, incorporating more strength training into his routine could help in improving his performance in strength-dominant segments, thereby enhancing his overall HYROX performance.
