By pacing himself appropriately, Rahimi can optimize his performance and maintain a steady energy level throughout the entire race.

2. Transition Time: Rahimi should work on improving his transition time between exercises. By practicing quick and efficient transitions in training, he can minimize the time spent in the roxzone. This will help him maintain momentum and ensure that his overall time is faster.

3. Strength and Endurance Training: Rahimi should incorporate specific strength and endurance training exercises into his routine to improve performance in the identified areas of improvement. Focusing on building strength, power, and endurance in the muscles used during the Sled Push, Running 3, Burpees Broad Jump, Sandbag Lunges, and Wall Balls will help him perform better in these segments.
