3. Best Lap: Günther's best lap time was 00:05:49, which was 00:50 slower than the average. To improve his best lap time, he should focus on interval training and speed work. Incorporating short sprints and high-intensity intervals into his training routine will help improve his speed and power.

4. Running 1, Running 2, Running 6, Running 3, Running 7, Running 4, and Running 5: Since Günther lost time in multiple running segments, it is evident that he needs to work on his running endurance and speed. He should incorporate long runs and tempo runs into his training routine to build endurance and improve his pace. Interval training, such as track workouts, can also help improve his speed and running efficiency.

5. Ski Erg: Günther's ski erg time was 00:04:54, which was 00:18 slower than the average. To improve his ski erg performance, he should focus on building his upper body and core strength. Incorporating exercises such as rows, pull-ups, and planks into his training routine will help improve his ski erg time.
