Segments to Improve:

• Wall Balls: This was Camille's most challenging segment, with a time of 00:07:52, which was 02:04 slower than average. To improve in this area, she could incorporate more strength training into her routine, focusing specifically on her lower body and core. Exercises such as squats, lunges, and deadlifts could be beneficial. Also, practicing the correct form and technique for wall balls will help increase her efficiency and speed during this task.
• Sled Pull: Camille's time in the Sled Pull segment was 02:07 slower than average. To enhance her performance in this area, she should focus on strength training, particularly targeting her upper body and core. Incorporating exercises like cable pulls, rowing, and deadlifts can help improve her sled pull performance. Additionally, working on her grip strength could be beneficial in this segment.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Camille was 00:20 slower than the average in the Burpees Broad Jump segment. To improve her performance, Camille could focus on plyometric training to increase her explosive power. Exercises such as box jumps, high knees, and plyometric push-ups could be beneficial. Also, practicing the technique of a broad jump and burpee separately, then combining them, can help increase her efficiency and speed.
• Farmers Carry: Lastly, Camille was 00:28 slower than average in the Farmers Carry segment. To enhance her performance in this area, she should work on her grip strength and endurance. Exercises like dead hangs, wrist curls, and pinch grip exercises could be beneficial.

Race Strategies:

For future races, Camille could benefit from starting at a slightly quicker pace during the initial running segments. This could help her gain time early in the race, which she can then maintain during the strength segments. Additionally, focusing on maintaining a steady pace rather than trying for a sprint finish could lead to an improved overall time. Given her strong running profile, she should capitalize on the running segments to gain lead time. She should also consider practicing transition times between segments, to cut down on rest periods and ensure she maintains momentum throughout the race.
