Field Notes

Hyrox publishes individual results and media cover the winners. This series covers the part in between: what the whole field does, measured on official results. One metric per note, defined once, computed the same way every time.

Source: the official Hyrox results. Method and definitions: our field metrics, defined.

• Field Notes #1

  The Roxzone Tax: what transitions cost the field

  Every Hyrox athlete pays time between stations. The Roxzone Tax puts a number on it: benchmark transition times per category, from official results.

• Field Notes #2

  The Course Speed Index: which races are really fast

  Not every Hyrox race is equally fast. The Course Speed Index sets each race's field finish against the season benchmark, from official results per city.

• Field Notes #3

  The Pro Gap: where Open trails Pro, station by station

  The Pro Gap is the gap per station between the Open and Pro benchmarks: over a minute on some stations, barely any on others, from official results.

• Field Notes #4

  The Age Curve: where the Hyrox field slows down, and where it does not

  Each age group's benchmark Hyrox finish against the season benchmark, from official results. Flat until 39, a bend at 50, the lost time goes to Wall Balls.
