Segments to Improve

• Wall Balls

  With a time of 09:18, Nort was 1:39 slower than average. Focus on improving endurance and technique in wall balls. Ensure proper squat depth and aim for a consistent rhythm. Consider integrating wall ball progressive overload drills and plyometric exercises to enhance explosive power.

  • Exercises: Goblet squats, medicine ball slams, and overhead throws.
  • Drills: High-rep wall ball intervals with short rest periods to mimic race conditions.
• Roxzone

  Spending 1:23 longer than average in transitions indicates a need for faster transition techniques and improved overall fitness. Focus on agility drills and cardiovascular endurance.

  • Exercises: Shuttle runs, burpees, and jump rope.
  • Drills: Transition practice with timed equipment shifts to simulate race conditions.
• Burpees Broad Jump

  With a time of 07:04, Nort was 0:50 slower than average. Improve explosive power and technique efficiency.

  • Exercises: Box jumps, broad jumps, and plyometric push-ups.
  • Drills: High-intensity burpee intervals focusing on jump distance and form.
• Sled Pull

  Nort was 0:27 slower than average. Improve upper body and core strength for better sled pull performance.

  • Exercises: Deadlifts, bent-over rows, and core strengthening drills.
  • Drills: Sled drag intervals with varying weights to build strength and stamina.
• Rowing

  Being 0:08 slower than average suggests room for minor adjustments in technique and power application.

  • Exercises: Seated rows, lat pull-downs, and core stability exercises.
  • Drills: Stroke rate training focusing on power per stroke and endurance.

Race Strategies

• Optimize Pacing: Given Nort's slower start, consider a more aggressive initial pace, balancing it with strategic energy conservation for strength exercises.
• Focus on Transitions: Practice efficient transitions between exercises to minimize time spent in the Roxzone. Use visual cues and mental rehearsal strategies to enhance focus and speed.
• Compromised Running Scenarios: Incorporate compromised running drills where running is performed immediately after strength exercises to simulate race fatigue and improve recovery and performance.
