• Burpees Broad Jump: Iñigo's time in this segment was 00:09:24, 01:33 slower than average.

Regular burpee drills can also boost his overall fitness and make him more efficient in this segment.
• Sandbag Lunges: Iñigo's performance in this segment (00:08:14) was below average. He could benefit from strengthening exercises that target the lower body, such as weighted lunges and squats.

• Farmers Carry: With a time of 00:03:32, 00:40 slower than average, it is clear that grip and shoulder strength need to be improved. Regular strength training focusing on the arms and shoulders, including exercises like deadlifts and farmer's walks with different weights, can help improve his performance in this segment.

Race Strategies:

Considering Iñigo's performance, one strategy would be to focus on a better start in the initial running segments to avoid losing precious time. He should also concentrate on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race instead of trying to make up for lost time in later sections. Iñigo should prioritize improving his strength to balance his running abilities. This will aid in better performance in strength-focused segments such as the Wall Balls, Burpees Broad Jump, and Sandbag Lunges.

Finally, incorporating regular transition practice into his training can help decrease the Roxzone time. Transition drills, where he practices moving quickly from one exercise to another, can be beneficial. This will not only improve his transition times but also his overall fitness, as it mimics the demands of the race.
