Karlie Ramlogan Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Karlie, first off, let me just say—you absolutely crushed it! Finishing 250th overall and 46th in your age group out of 692 and 125 participants, respectively, puts you in the top 36%. 🏆 That’s no small feat! With an overall time of 01:31:12, you demonstrated that you’re a fierce competitor. Your total running time of 00:45:50 was 32 seconds faster than average, indicating you have a runner's profile. However, your pacing was a bit uneven, particularly in the first segment where you started slower than average. Remember, it’s not a marathon; it’s a sprint with some heavy lifting in between! Your best running lap was an impressive 00:04:47, showcasing your speed during that segment. But we need to capitalize on that strength and work on the segments where you lost time. You’ve got the potential to turn those weaknesses into strengths, and I’m here to help you do just that!

Segments to Improve:

• Ski Erg: You clocked in at 00:06:04, which was 56 seconds slower than average. This is a big area for improvement. To enhance your performance, focus on the following:
  • Drills: Incorporate interval training on the Ski Erg. Aim for 30 seconds of all-out effort followed by 1-minute recovery, repeating this for 15-20 minutes.
  • Form Tips: Ensure you’re using your legs and not just your arms. Engage your core and keep a strong back to maximize efficiency.
• Rowing: Clocking in at 00:05:42, you were 17 seconds slower than average. Let's get that time down with:
  • Technique Focus: Work on your drive phase. Your legs should do the heavy lifting, while your arms should only follow through. Practice the “catch” position to start each stroke effectively.
  • Training: Use pyramid workouts combining short sprints (20-30 seconds) with longer rows (3-5 minutes) to build endurance while maintaining power.
• Roxzone: You spent 00:07:20 here—13 seconds slower than average. To improve this transition time:
  • Strategy: Practice your transitions in training. Use a stopwatch to time your transitions between exercises. Aim to cut those seconds down each session.
  • Fitness Boost: Incorporate circuit training into your routine to enhance overall fitness and get used to moving quickly between exercises.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start with a strong but controlled pace. You don’t want to burn out early. Your first run segment should feel challenging but sustainable.
• Breathing: Focus on your breathing during the Ski Erg and Rowing sections. Controlled inhales and exhales can help manage your energy levels and keep you focused.
• Mindset: Keep a positive mindset throughout the race. When it gets tough, remind yourself why you started. “Pain is temporary, pride is forever.” – Unknown
