Kilenstam Emma Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Emma, you crushed it out there in Stockholm! With an overall time of 01:20:03, you finished in the top 18% of 652 athletes and 21st in your age group - that's no small feat! Your total running time of 38:53 is impressive, coming in 2:35 faster than average. It's clear you've got a runner's profile, which is a huge advantage in Hyrox competitions! 🚀

Now, let's talk pacing. Your first running segment was on fire, coming in at 3:54, which is a whopping 49 seconds faster than average. However, you seemed to settle into a slightly slower rhythm in the latter running segments, especially the last two. This could indicate a bit of fatigue or possibly starting a little too quickly. Finding that sweet spot in pacing is crucial for maintaining your energy throughout the race.

Overall, your performance showcases a solid hybrid athlete, but there are definitely areas where we can tune up your strengths and address those pesky weaknesses. Let’s dive into the specifics!

Segments to Improve:

• Wall Balls: Clocking in at 4:58, this segment was significantly slower, landing you in the 51st percentile. Focus on your squat depth and explosive upward motion. Consider practicing with lighter weights or even no weights to perfect your form before adding resistance.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Here, you spent 5:24 - that’s 20 seconds slower than average, placing you in the 30th percentile. Break down the movement: work on speed in your burpee transition and practice broad jumps separately to enhance explosiveness. Try doing sets of 5 burpees followed by 3 broad jumps, aiming for minimal rest between sets.
• Sandbag Lunges: You finished this segment in 4:11, only 2 seconds slower than average, but it still represents an opportunity for improvement. Focus on your lunge depth and core engagement. Incorporate walking lunges into your routine and add weight as you progress. Aim for 3 sets of 10 lunges on each leg, focusing on stability and form.

Now, about that Roxzone—the time you spent between exercise zones was 8:41, which is 3 minutes slower than average. This suggests you may have taken extra time to transition or rest. Improving your overall fitness and refining your transition strategies can shave off those valuable seconds.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Find a comfortable rhythm early on. Consider practicing your pacing in training runs to see how you feel at different speeds.
• Transitions: Practice your transitions as if they were an exercise themselves! Work on moving efficiently from one exercise to the next to minimize downtime.
• Breath Control: Control your breathing during high-intensity segments to keep your heart rate in check. Practice inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth to manage fatigue.
• Positive Self-Talk: Keep that inner voice loud and proud! Remind yourself of your strengths and visualize success during tough moments of the race. Something like, "I am stronger than my excuses!" can work wonders.
