Andrew's profile seems to lean towards running, given his faster-than-average total running time. However, his performance in strength-focused segments like the Ski Erg, Sled Pull, and Rowing also outperformed the average times, indicating a hybrid athlete profile. The challenge here is to maintain this balance and improve on the weaker areas.

Segments to Improve:

Based on the detailed split analysis, there are a few segments where Andrew could focus for improvement. These include the Roxzone, Wall Balls, Sandbag Lunges, and Burpees Broad Jump.

Also, practicing quick transitions between different exercises could help decrease this time.
• Wall Balls: Andrew's Wall Ball time was 00:10:41, which is 00:50 slower than average. To improve this, he could incorporate more lower body strength and power training exercises like squats and lunges.
