- He should prioritize his strengths, such as the Ski Erg and Sled Push, to gain an advantage in those segments and make up for any time lost in other areas.
- Mirko should practice efficient transitions between exercises to minimize time in the Roxzone and maintain momentum throughout the race.
- It would be beneficial for him to work on mental toughness and maintaining focus during challenging segments, such as Burpees Broad Jump and Wall Balls.
- Mirko should also work on improving his overall fitness and strength, as this will have a positive impact on his performance in all segments of the race.
By focusing on these areas of improvement and implementing specific training strategies and techniques, Mirko Reintrog can enhance his performance in future Hyrox races.
