In his age group (35-39), he ranked 54th, which is in the top 32% of 164 athletes. Tama's overall time was 02:18:30, with a total running time of 01:15:14, which was 07:13 slower than the average.

Based on the splits analysis, Tama performed well in some segments, such as the Ski Erg, Sled Push, Sled Pull, and Rowing, where he was faster than the average time. However, there were several segments where he lost time, including Running 1, Running 3, Running 4, Burpees Broad Jump, Running 5, Running 6, Running 7, Sandbag Lunges, Running 8, and Wall Balls.

Segments to Improve

1. Running 1: Tama was 02:09 slower than the average time in this segment. To improve his running performance, he should focus on interval training, incorporating both speed and endurance drills. Tempo runs, hill sprints, and interval training on a treadmill can help improve his pace and overall running ability.

2. Running 8: Tama was 01:54 slower than the average time in this segment. To enhance his endurance in the later stages of the race, he should incorporate long-distance runs into his training routine. Additionally, strength training exercises like squats, lunges, and deadlifts can help improve his lower body strength, which will contribute to better performance in the running segments.

3. Best Lap: Tama's best lap time was 00:08:06, which indicates that he has the potential to perform well in running segments. To consistently achieve such times, he should focus on maintaining a steady pace throughout the race and avoid starting too fast. Pacing strategies such as negative splits can help him maintain energy and performance throughout the race.

4. Sandbag Lunges: Tama was 01:42 slower than the average time in this segment. To improve his performance in sandbag lunges, he should incorporate specific exercises targeting the muscles used in this movement, such as lunges with dumbbells or kettlebells. Additionally, strengthening the core muscles through exercises like planks and Russian twists can improve stability and form during lunges.

5. Wall Balls: Tama was 00:50 slower than the average time in this segment. To improve his performance in wall balls, he should work on his upper body strength and explosiveness. Exercises like shoulder presses, push-ups, and medicine ball slams can help strengthen the muscles involved in wall balls. Additionally, focusing on proper form and technique, including using the legs to generate power, can lead to more efficient and faster wall ball performance.

Strategies

- Focus on pacing: Tama should aim for a steady and consistent pace throughout the race, avoiding starting too fast and burning out later on. This will help him maintain energy and performance in all segments.
- Transition efficiency: Tama should work on improving his transition time in the roxzone. This can be achieved through practicing quick and seamless transitions between exercises, as well as improving overall fitness and conditioning.
- Strength training: Tama should incorporate strength training exercises into his routine to improve overall strength and power, which will contribute to better performance in both running and strength-based segments.
- Interval training: Implementing interval training sessions, both on the track and on the treadmill, can help improve Tama's speed and endurance, specifically targeting areas where he lost time in the running segments.
- Specific drills: Tama should incorporate specific drills to target the movements and muscles used in the segments where he lost time. For example, practicing sandbag lunges and wall balls with proper form and technique can help improve performance in those segments.
- Rest and recovery: Adequate rest and recovery are essential for optimal performance. Tama should ensure he is getting enough sleep, practicing active recovery techniques, and incorporating rest days into his training schedule to avoid overtraining and reduce the risk of injuries.
