Tiffany Fleeman, Joel Fleeman Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Tiffany and Joel, you both did an incredible job out there in Dallas! Finishing with an overall time of 01:18:39 places you in the top 28% of 329 athletes and the top 21% of your age group—now that's something to be proud of! 🎉 Your performance reflects your commitment and hard work, but there are definitely areas we can fine-tune to unlock even more potential.

Looking at your pacing, it seems like you both started a bit too fast. Tiffany, your Running 1 split was 00:05:25, which was 11 seconds slower than average, indicating that you might have burned a bit too much energy early on. Joel, your Running 2 split was a solid 00:04:58, showing you picked up the pace nicely, but the inconsistency suggests room for improvement in pacing strategy.

In terms of your profiles, it appears you’re more runners than strength athletes. Your total running time of 00:44:33 is just a bit slower than average, indicating that while you have a solid running foundation, you might need to focus on strength training to enhance your overall performance for the hybrid nature of Hyrox. Remember, in this sport, it’s not just about who can run the fastest but also who can lift the heaviest while still running fast! 🏃‍♂️💪

Segments to Improve:

• Rowing (00:05:02): This was one of your slower segments, coming in 24 seconds behind average. To improve here, focus on your technique; poor form can lead to wasted energy. Consider incorporating drills like high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the rowing machine. Try to perform intervals of 30 seconds of maximum effort followed by 1-minute rest for about 15 minutes to build your power output.
• Roxzone (00:11:09): This segment was significantly slower than average, indicating that more time was spent transitioning between exercises. To improve your Roxzone time, practice quick transitions in your training sessions. Set up a circuit with exercises mimicking the Hyrox format and focus on reducing your rest time. Aim for a transition time of under 30 seconds between exercises. Remember, every second counts—think of it as the ‘rest you didn’t earn’! ⏳
• Running 3 (00:06:22): This segment saw quite a drop, 47 seconds slower than average. To improve your endurance and pacing, incorporate long runs at a conversational pace to build your aerobic capacity. Follow this up with tempo runs where you run at a challenging pace for 20-30 minutes. This will help you maintain speed during the later parts of the race when fatigue sets in.

Race Strategies:

• During the race, start conservatively. Aim to keep your heart rate in a manageable zone during the initial running segments. A slower start can lead to faster finishes—trust me, your legs will thank you later!
• Establish a rhythm during your transitions. Practice a 'quick-change' routine in training. For example, after finishing one exercise, have a set order of actions you perform to streamline your transition to the next exercise.
• During the rowing and sled segments, focus on breathing and maintaining a steady pace rather than going all out. Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint! Find your groove and stick to it!

Conclusion:

Tiffany and Joel, your performance in Dallas was commendable, and I see so much potential for improvement. Embrace the challenges ahead, train hard on the weaknesses, and remember: “The only way to define your limits is by going beyond them.” – David Goggins. 💥

In addition, keep a sense of humor about the grind. If things start to feel tough in training, just remember: "Why did the runner bring a ladder to the race? Because they heard the competition was high!" 🏆
