Analysis of the splits shows that Stephen started the race slower than average in the first running segment, but picked up pace thereafter. This suggests that he may have a tendency to start slow and then gradually increase his speed, which is a common strategy for endurance events.

Segments to Improve

Despite his overall strong performance, there are several areas where Stephen could improve. The segments that have the most potential for improvement, compared to the 25th percentile, are Wall Balls, the Roxzone, Burpees Broad Jump, Sandbag Lunges, Sled Pull, and Sled Push.

• Wall Balls: Stephen was 01:29 slower than the 25th percentile in this segment. To improve, he could incorporate more wall ball drills into his training. For example, he could do sets of 20-30 wall ball shots with a heavier ball to build strength and endurance. Also, focusing on form can help reduce fatigue; ensure the chest is up, use the whole body to throw the ball, and catch the ball high to avoid unnecessary squat depth.
• Roxzone: Here, Stephen was 01:27 slower than the 25th percentile. He should aim to improve overall fitness and transition times to reduce time spent in this segment. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) can help enhance fitness levels and improve recovery times. Transition drills, simulating the movements between exercises, could also be beneficial.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Stephen was 01:11 slower than the 25th percentile in this segment. Incorporating more plyometric exercises, such as box jumps and jump squats, can help improve explosive power. Moreover, regular practice of burpees can help improve technique and efficiency.
• Sandbag Lunges & Sled Pull/Push: For these strength-based segments, Stephen was slower than the 25th percentile. He could incorporate more strength training into his routine, focusing on lower body exercises like squats, deadlifts, and lunges. Functional training with sleds and sandbags can help mimic the race conditions and improve performance in these specific segments.

Race Strategies

Given Stephen's strong running profile, he should aim to capitalize on the running segments to gain time. He should also work on maintaining a steady pace from the start, rather than starting slower and then having to catch up. It might be beneficial for Stephen to set target times for each segment based on his training, to keep track of his pacing during the race.

For the strength-based segments, Stephen should focus on maintaining proper form to prevent fatigue and avoid injuries. Moreover, improving transition times between exercises can help reduce the total time spent in the Roxzone, thereby improving overall race time.

Lastly, a well-planned and balanced nutrition strategy should be implemented before, during, and after the race to ensure adequate energy and recovery.
