Incorporating exercises that mimic the transitions, such as quick changes between different exercises or movements, can help him improve his transition time during the race.

3. Strength and Running Balance: Reed should strive to maintain a balance between strength and running training. If his total running time is faster than the average, it indicates that he has a more runner profile and should focus on strength training to improve his overall performance. On the other hand, if his running time is slower than average, he should prioritize running training to enhance his speed and endurance.

In conclusion, Reed McConnell had a solid performance in the HYROX race in Los Angeles.
