In the world of sports performance, data is everywhere. Watches track heart rates, apps monitor recovery, and race platforms log every split and second. But when all that data is condensed into a single visual, a story emerges: the numbers stop being neutral—they speak with raw emotion.
The aim was to analyse my HYROX performance, which is the fast-growing hybrid fitness event. It combines eight 1-kilometre runs with functional workout stations like sled pushes, burpees, and wall balls. The race’s structure naturally lends itself to analysis—clear segments, repeated runs, and measurable transitions. The goal of the visualisation was to explore how time, effort, and physiology interact across a physically demanding event. What actually transpired was a visualisation that was much more emotive: projecting personal emotion, or how I felt about my performance.
