Strategies

1. Pacing: Bronwyn displayed a strong overall pacing throughout the race, as she was consistently faster than the average time in most segments. However, it is important for her to maintain this pacing throughout the entire race and avoid starting too fast and slowing down towards the end. She should focus on pacing herself evenly throughout the race to ensure optimal performance.

2. Hybrid Approach: Based on her performance, Bronwyn appears to have a hybrid profile, excelling in both running and strength segments. To capitalize on this strength, she should continue to incorporate a balanced training approach that includes both running and strength exercises. This will help her maintain her strong performance in both aspects of the race.

3. Specific Training: To improve her performance in the identified areas of improvement, Bronwyn should incorporate specific training exercises and drills into her routine. This includes exercises such as pull-ups, rows, and deadlifts for the sled pull segment, HIIT workouts and circuit training for the roxzone, sandbag lunges for the sandbag lunges segment, farmer's carries and grip strength exercises for the farmers carry segment, squats, lunges, and deadlifts for the sled push segment, and rowing intervals and steady-state rowing for the rowing segment.

By implementing these strategies, focusing on specific training exercises, and maintaining a balanced approach to her training, Bronwyn Boswell can further improve her performance in future Hyrox races.
