Strategies

- Pacing: Angelo should focus on maintaining a steady and consistent pace throughout the race. By avoiding starting too fast and pacing himself appropriately, he can ensure that he has enough energy and endurance to perform well in all segments.
- Transitions: To improve his performance in the Roxzone (transition time), Angelo should work on improving his overall fitness level and reducing transition times between exercises. Incorporating circuit training and interval training into his routine will help improve his overall fitness and speed up transitions between segments.
- Strength vs. Running: Based on Angelo's faster total running time compared to the average, it is evident that he has a stronger running profile. However, to further enhance his overall performance, he should continue to focus on strength training to improve his performance in segments that require strength and power, such as the Sled Push and Wall Balls.
- Mental Preparation: Angelo should also work on mental preparation and maintaining focus throughout the race. Visualizing success, setting small goals for each segment, and staying positive during challenging moments will contribute to better overall performance.
