Additionally, her Roxzone time was slower than average, suggesting that she may need to work on her overall fitness and transition time.

Segments to Improve

1. Ski Erg: Vazkresia's time of 00:05:47 is 41 seconds slower than the average. To improve her performance in this segment, she should focus on enhancing her ski erg technique and building her upper body and cardiovascular endurance. Specific exercises to include in her training routine are ski erg intervals, incorporating both short bursts of high intensity and longer, steady efforts. She should also work on improving her form and efficiency on the ski erg, ensuring she is using her full body and engaging her core.

2. Sled Pull: Vazkresia's time of 00:07:44 is 01:36 slower than the average. To improve her sled pull performance, she should focus on developing her lower body strength, particularly her glutes, quads, and hamstrings. Exercises such as squats, lunges, deadlifts, and hip thrusts can help strengthen these muscle groups. Additionally, she should work on her pulling technique, ensuring she maintains a strong and stable position while pulling the sled. Incorporating specific sled pull drills into her training routine, such as timed sled pull sprints or pull and push variations, will also be beneficial.

3. Burpees Broad Jump: Vazkresia's time of 00:06:19 is 30 seconds slower than the average. To improve her performance in this segment, she should focus on enhancing her explosiveness and lower body power. Exercises such as box jumps, squat jumps, and broad jumps can help improve her jumping ability and explosive power. Additionally, she should work on her burpee technique, aiming to perform them efficiently and with proper form to minimize time wasted. Incorporating specific burpee variations, such as burpees with a lateral jump or burpees with a tuck jump, can also help improve her overall performance in this segment.

4. Rowing: Vazkresia's time of 00:05:41 is 20 seconds slower than the average. To improve her rowing performance, she should focus on building her upper body and core strength, as well as improving her rowing technique. Exercises such as bent over rows, lat pull-downs, and planks can help strengthen her upper body and core. She should also work on her rowing technique, ensuring she is utilizing proper form, utilizing the full range of motion, and generating power from her legs, core, and arms. Incorporating specific rowing intervals and drills into her training routine, such as 500-meter row sprints or rowing with resistance bands, can also help improve her rowing performance.
