However, she struggled in segments like Wall Balls, Burpees Broad Jump, Sled Push, and Farmers Carry, where she lost considerable time compared to the average. This indicates areas where she can focus on improvement.

Segments to Improve

1. Wall Balls: Tanya's time in this segment was 01:24 slower than the average. To improve her performance, she should focus on strengthening her upper body and core. Incorporating exercises like shoulder presses, push-ups, and planks into her training routine will help her build the necessary strength and endurance for this exercise. Additionally, practicing wall balls with proper form and technique will allow her to become more efficient and reduce the time spent on this segment.

2. Burpees Broad Jump: Tanya's time in this segment was 00:41 slower than the average. To improve her performance, she should work on her explosiveness and agility. Incorporating plyometric exercises like box jumps, jump squats, and lateral jumps into her training routine will help her develop the necessary power and speed for this exercise. Additionally, practicing burpees with proper form and focusing on efficient transitions between jumps and the broad jump will help her save time.

3. Sled Push: Tanya's time in this segment was 00:35 slower than the average. To improve her performance, she should focus on building lower body strength and power. Exercises like squats, lunges, and deadlifts will help her develop the necessary strength for pushing the sled. Additionally, practicing sled pushes with proper form and technique, focusing on driving with the legs and maintaining a strong core, will help her become more efficient and reduce the time spent on this segment.

4. Farmers Carry: Tanya's time in this segment was 00:18 slower than the average. To improve her performance, she should work on her grip strength and overall endurance. Incorporating exercises like farmer's walks, dead hangs, and kettlebell swings into her training routine will help her develop the necessary grip strength and endurance for this exercise. Additionally, practicing farmers carry with heavier weights and focusing on maintaining a strong posture and core stability will help her improve her speed and efficiency.

5. Running 2 and Running 7: Tanya's times in these running segments were 00:24 and 00:22 slower than the average, respectively. To improve her running performance, she should focus on both endurance and speed training. Incorporating long-distance runs, interval training, and hill sprints into her training routine will help her improve her overall running fitness. Additionally, working on proper running form and technique, such as maintaining a strong posture, utilizing arm swing, and focusing on efficient stride length, will help her become a more efficient runner.

Strategies

To improve overall performance in the race, Tanya should consider the following strategies:
1. Pacing: Tanya should focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race to avoid burning out too quickly. This will help her maintain energy levels and perform better in all segments.

2. Transitions: Tanya should work on improving her transition time between segments, particularly in the roxzone. This can be achieved by improving overall fitness and practicing quick and efficient transitions during training sessions.

3. Specific Training: Tanya should tailor her training program to address her weaker segments, such as wall balls, burpees broad jump, sled push, farmers carry, and running. By dedicating more time and effort to these areas, she can improve her performance and reduce the time lost.

4. Mental Preparation: Tanya should focus on mental preparation techniques such as visualization and positive self-talk to build confidence and maintain focus during the race. Mental toughness plays a crucial role in performing at the highest level.

By implementing these strategies and incorporating the suggested training techniques and exercises, Tanya Beattie can improve her performance in future HYROX races and achieve better results in her age group.
