In terms of pacing, Íñigo had a balanced approach throughout the race. He maintained a consistent speed in most segments and managed to finish faster than the average in the majority of them. However, there were specific segments where he lost time, such as the Sled Push, Sled Pull, Sandbag Lunges, Ski Erg, and Roxzone. These areas require improvement to enhance his overall performance.

Segments to Improve

1. Sled Push: Íñigo was 00:56 slower than the average time in this segment. To improve, he should focus on increasing his upper body strength and power. Specific exercises to incorporate into his training routine include push-ups, bench press, shoulder press, and sled pushing drills. He should also work on his technique to ensure efficient pushing and minimize time lost during transitions.

2. Sled Pull: Íñigo was 00:36 slower than the average time in this segment. Similar to the Sled Push, he needs to work on his upper body strength and pulling power. Exercises such as pull-ups, rows, and sled pulling drills should be incorporated into his training regimen. Improving his technique and transitions will also contribute to faster times in this segment.

3. Sandbag Lunges: Íñigo was 00:21 slower than the average time in this segment. To improve, he should focus on strengthening his lower body, particularly his quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings. Exercises such as lunges, squats, and step-ups should be included in his training routine. He should also work on maintaining proper form and efficient transitions between lunges.

4. Ski Erg: Íñigo was 00:16 slower than the average time in this segment. To improve his performance, he should focus on increasing his cardiovascular endurance and upper body strength. Incorporating exercises such as rowing, burpees, and interval training into his routine will help improve his overall fitness. Additionally, practicing proper technique on the Ski Erg machine and minimizing transition time will contribute to faster splits.

5. Roxzone: Íñigo was 00:13 slower than the average time in this segment. To improve, he needs to enhance his overall fitness and transition time. Incorporating high-intensity interval training, circuit training, and plyometric exercises into his routine will help improve his overall conditioning. Additionally, practicing quick and efficient transitions between exercises will minimize time lost in the Roxzone.
