Segments to Improve
Based on the splits analysis, there are several segments where Trahan could improve her performance. These segments include Wall Balls, Roxzone, Sandbag Lunges, Farmers Carry, Ski Erg, and Rowing.
To improve her performance in Wall Balls, Trahan should focus on increasing her strength and endurance. She can incorporate exercises such as squats, lunges, and wall sits into her training routine.

In the Roxzone segment, Trahan should work on improving her overall fitness and transition time. This can be achieved by incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts into her training routine. Emphasizing quick transitions between exercises and focusing on maintaining a high level of intensity throughout the workout will help improve her performance in Roxzone.
For the Sandbag Lunges segment, Trahan should focus on improving her strength and stability. Exercises such as lunges, squats, and deadlifts will help strengthen the muscles used during this segment. Additionally, incorporating exercises that target the core and improve balance, such as planks and single-leg exercises, will also be beneficial.

Incorporating cardio exercises such as rowing, cycling, and running into her training routine will help improve her cardiovascular endurance. Additionally, practicing proper technique and form for both the Ski Erg and Rowing will help improve her efficiency in these segments.
Strategies
During the race, Trahan should focus on maintaining a steady pace and avoiding going out too fast at the beginning. It is important for her to pace herself and conserve energy for the later segments. By starting at a sustainable pace, she will be able to maintain her performance throughout the race.
Additionally, Trahan should focus on proper form and technique during each segment. This will help maximize her efficiency and prevent unnecessary fatigue. Practicing each segment individually and focusing on proper form during training will help her perform better on race day.
Finally, Trahan should strategize her transitions between segments to minimize time lost. Practicing quick and efficient transitions during training will help her save valuable time during the race.
Overall, Trahan's performance in the HYROX race in Wien was commendable. With a strong focus on improving specific segments and implementing race strategies, she has the potential to further enhance her performance in future races.
