His total running time of 00:52:54 was 04:09 slower than the average, indicating that he may need to focus on improving his running abilities. However, it is worth noting that his best running lap time of 00:05:30 was only 00:24 slower than the average, suggesting that he has the potential to excel in this area.
Segments to Improve
1. Run Total: Kyle lost significant time during the running segments. To improve his running performance, he should focus on increasing his overall fitness and endurance. Incorporating interval training, such as hill sprints and tempo runs, can help improve his speed and endurance. Additionally, incorporating strength training exercises that target the lower body, such as squats and lunges, can help improve running performance.
2. Sled Pull: Kyle lost 02:41 more time than the average during the sled pull segment. To improve in this area, he should work on strengthening his upper body and grip strength. Exercises such as pull-ups, rows, and farmer's carries can help improve these areas.
3. Roxzone: Kyle spent 01:34 more time in the roxzone than the average athlete. To improve this segment, he should focus on improving his overall fitness and reducing transition time between exercises. Incorporating circuit training and practicing smooth transitions between exercises can help improve his performance in the roxzone.
4. Running 8: Kyle was 00:44 slower than the average during this running segment. To improve his performance, he should focus on increasing his overall endurance and speed. Incorporating longer distance runs and interval training, such as fartlek runs or speed repeats, can help improve his running abilities.
5. Sled Push, Running 1, Running 2, Running 4, Running 6: Kyle lost time in these running segments compared to the average. To improve his running performance, he should focus on increasing his overall fitness and endurance. Incorporating interval training, such as hill sprints and tempo runs, can help improve his speed and endurance.

Strategies
- Kyle should focus on pacing himself properly throughout the race. It is important not to start too fast and burn out early. He should aim to maintain a consistent pace and avoid any drastic fluctuations in speed.
- During the running segments, Kyle should focus on maintaining good form and technique. This includes maintaining an upright posture, landing mid-foot, and driving the arms forward and back.
- Kyle should also practice smooth transitions between exercises to minimize time spent in the roxzone. This can be achieved through specific drills and practicing the sequence of exercises in training.
- It is important for Kyle to listen to his body during the race and adjust his efforts accordingly. Pushing too hard without considering fatigue or potential injuries can hinder performance.
- Kyle should also consider incorporating specific strength and conditioning workouts that target the areas where he lost the most time, such as upper body and grip strength exercises for the sled pull and overall endurance training for the running segments.
