However, there is room for improvement in strength-based exercises and transitions.

Segments to Improve

• Wall Balls: Dominik's time was 01:25 slower than average, placing him in the 88th percentile. To improve:
  • Strength Training: Incorporate wall ball drills with varied weights to enhance endurance and power. Focus on maintaining a steady rhythm and reducing rest time between reps.
  • Technique Enhancement: Work on form correction by ensuring proper squat depth and a strong, explosive throw. Use video analysis to identify and correct inefficiencies.
• Sandbag Lunges: With a time 01:09 slower than average (93 percentile rank), focus on:
  • Leg Strength: Integrate weighted lunges and Bulgarian split squats into the routine to build leg stability and power.
  • Endurance Drills: Practice continuous lunge circuits to enhance muscular endurance and reduce fatigue during races.
• Roxzone: Transition times were 00:36 slower than average. Strategies include:
  • Transition Practice: Simulate race conditions to practice quick transitions, minimizing rest and focusing on efficient movement between zones.
  • Overall Fitness: Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to improve cardiovascular fitness and reduce transition fatigue.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Time was 00:29 slower than average (73 percentile rank). Address this with:
  • Explosive Power Drills: Incorporate plyometric exercises such as box jumps and burpees with added resistance to build explosive strength.
  • Efficiency Focus: Pay attention to form, ensuring efficient movement and minimizing unnecessary steps during the transition between burpees and jumps.

Race Strategies

• Optimize Pacing: Maintain a balanced pace throughout the event, leveraging running strengths while conserving energy for strength-based segments.
• Pre-race Preparation: Engage in a comprehensive warm-up routine focusing on dynamic stretches and light cardio to prime muscles and reduce injury risk.
• Mindful Hydration and Nutrition: Implement a race-day nutrition plan to ensure sustained energy levels, focusing on easy-to-digest carbohydrates and electrolytes.
• Mental Preparation: Develop a strong mental game by practicing visualization techniques and setting incremental goals throughout the race to stay focused and motivated.
