Brodie West Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Brodie, you tackled the Hyrox race with determination and grit, finishing strong in the top 85% of a competitive field. Your overall time of 01:39:42 shows that you've got a solid foundation, but there's room for improvement. Let's break down your performance: while your total running time of 42:12 is significantly faster than average, indicating a stronger running profile, your pacing in the initial segments was a bit ambitious. Starting off with a 03:53 in Running 1—over a minute faster than average—might have left you gasping for air later on. The good news? You've got the engine; we just need to fine-tune it. 🌟

Segments & Race Analysis:

Throughout the race, you demonstrated a mix of strengths and areas needing some attention. Your running segments, particularly the first few, showed a burst of speed that, while impressive, might have caused fatigue during the later exercises. Notably, your Burpees Broad Jump (BBJ) segment was the biggest time sink, taking 10:45—over four minutes longer than the average. That’s where we’ll focus most of our training efforts. On the other hand, your Sled Pull time of 06:20 was also on the slower side, but with less urgency for improvement. The Roxzone, where you spent 11:47, is another area where we can shave off valuable seconds by enhancing your transition efficiency. Remember, transitions are like the time spent deciding what to watch on Netflix—don’t let them drag on! 😄

Segments to Improve:

• Burpees Broad Jump:
  • Current Time: 10:45
  • Potential Improvement: 04:12 (Target: 06:33)
  • Focus during Training: 83%

  To tackle this segment, we’ll incorporate specific drills that mimic the BBJ’s explosive nature. Start with box jumps to build power, followed by burpee practice focusing on speed and efficiency. Aim for 3-4 sets of 10 reps with quick transitions between jumps and burpees. Remember, form is crucial—keep your core tight and land softly to prevent injury.

• Sled Pull:
  • Current Time: 06:20
  • Potential Improvement: 00:34 (Target: 05:46)
  • Focus during Training: 11%

  The Sled Pull is all about technique and power. Incorporate heavy sled drags into your routine, focusing on driving through your legs. Aim for shorter distances with heavier weights to build strength and speed. Practice pulling with a steady, controlled pace to avoid burning out too quickly.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing Strategy:

  Start off at a sustainable pace. You don’t need to win the race in the first few minutes. A slightly slower initial run allows you to conserve energy for the later segments, especially the BBJ and Sled Pull.

• Transition Efficiency:

  Practice your transitions during training. Set up mock transitions where you switch between exercises quickly. Aim to reduce your Roxzone time significantly; even 30 seconds saved during transitions can make a huge difference in your overall time.

• Mindset:

  Keep Goggins' voice in your head: "You’re not going to die. You’re just going to suffer a little bit." Embrace the discomfort and push through the pain. Your mindset is your most powerful tool in these races.

Conclusion:

Brodie, you’ve got a solid base to work from, and with a few tweaks and focused training, you can take your performance to the next level. The upcoming races in Perth and Hong Kong are perfect opportunities to put your improvements to the test. Remember, every session counts, and every workout is a step closer to your next personal best. Keep your head up and your feet moving—after all, the only bad workout is the one you didn’t do! 💪
