Roxzone: Josh's Roxzone time was 01:25 slower than the average. To improve in this area, Josh needs to focus on improving his transition time and overall fitness.

Race Strategies
During the race, Josh should aim to maintain a steady pace from the start to prevent early fatigue. He should also focus on efficient transitions between segments to save time.

Nevertheless, it is crucial not to overexert in any segment to prevent exhaustion and maintain performance throughout the race. Lastly, practicing specific exercises under race-like conditions can help Josh better prepare for the actual race scenario.
