Christina Stabile Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Christina, you absolutely crushed it at the 2025 New York Hyrox event! With an overall finish time of 01:11:07, you landed in an impressive 10th place overall out of 299 athletes, which places you in the top 3% of competitors. In your age group (25-29), you nailed a 3rd place finish, also in the top 3% out of 81 athletes. 💪

Now, let's talk about your pacing. Your total running time of 28:59 is significantly faster than the average by a whopping 7:37, which indicates that you have a strong runner profile. However, this means you might need to focus more on strength exercises to enhance your overall Hyrox performance. It seems like you started a bit fast in the first segment, but you found your rhythm afterwards. Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint—unless you’re in a Hyrox, then it’s both! 😄

Segments & Race Analysis:

Let's take a closer look at how your segments performed relative to the average:

• Your first running segment was just slightly above average, showing that you might have gone out a bit too fast. The 04:11 split isn't terrible, but it’s crucial to find your pace early on.
• Running 2 was a highlight, clocking in at 04:05, a solid performance that shows your endurance. But then you hit a few snags in segments like Ski Erg and Sled Pull, where you lagged behind the average by 5 and 22 seconds, respectively.
• Running segments 3-6 were strong, especially with multiple 4:04 splits that indicate solid pacing. However, it’s evident that segments like Burpees Broad Jump and Farmers Carry need some serious love.
• Overall, your Roxzone time of 03:45 is a bit slower than average, which suggests that transitions are an area for improvement. You want to be as quick as a cheetah on roller skates during those transitions! 🦓🏃‍♀️

Segments to Improve:

Now, let’s focus on the segments that could use some polishing. Here’s a breakdown of the worst-performing segments and a roadmap for improvement:

• Burpees Broad Jump (BBJ): Your time was 05:00 versus an average of 03:56. That’s a potential improvement of 1:04 (Focus during training: 30%).
• Drills: Incorporate more explosive plyometric work like box jumps, and practice your burpees with a focus on speed and form. Aim for 3 sets of 10-15 reps of burpees in a circuit format.
• Technique: Focus on minimizing ground contact time during jumps and maintaining a steady rhythm.
• Sled Pull: You clocked in at 04:41, which is 47 seconds slower than the average (Focus during training: 22%).
• Drills: Include sled pulls in your routine 2-3 times a week, varying the load. Use a heavy enough weight that challenges you while still allowing for good form.
• Technique: Focus on hip extension and maintaining a strong posture throughout the pull.
• Farmers Carry: Your current time is 02:27, with a potential improvement of 47 seconds (Focus during training: 22%).
• Drills: Regularly perform carries with varying weights and distances. Try to include uneven weights to challenge your grip and stabilizing muscles.
• Technique: Focus on keeping your shoulders back and core engaged to maintain balance while moving.
• Sled Push: You finished at 02:18, which is 28 seconds slower than average (Focus during training: 13%).
• Drills: Perform sled pushes at least once a week, focusing on both speed and endurance. Incorporate intervals—sprint for 10 meters, rest, and repeat.
• Technique: Keep your hips low, engage your core, and push through your heels to maximize power.

Race Strategies:

Now that we’ve identified the areas to improve, let’s talk about race strategies:

• Pacing: For future races, aim to start a little slower, especially in the initial running segments. Your body needs to warm up to endure the entirety of the race. Think of it like cooking a nice meal; you don’t want to burn it at the start!
• Transitions: Speed up your transitions! Work on quick changes between exercises during your training. Use timed drills to simulate the Hyrox environment and practice transitioning quickly from running to strength segments.
• Stay Hydrated: Don’t forget to hydrate! Keeping your body fueled during the race can make a huge difference, especially in longer segments.

Conclusion:

Christina, you are on an incredible trajectory! Your performance in New York shows that you are capable of even greater feats. As you prepare for your next races, including the F45 HYROX Toronto and the HYROX World Championships in Chicago, keep this feedback in mind. You’ve already proven that you can compete at a high level, and with a bit of focused training and strategic adjustments, the sky's the limit!

Remember, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” Keep grinding, keep pushing, and don’t forget to enjoy the journey. And if you ever feel like quitting, just remember why you started! 💥

Let’s keep kicking butt and taking names, Christina! You’ve got this! 💪 The Rox-Coach is here cheering you on every step of the way!
