While Viljoen performed well overall, there were a few segments where he lost time compared to the average. The segments that stand out as areas for improvement are Running 6, Running 3, Running 7, Running 5, Sled Pull, Running 4, Running 8, and Farmers Carry.

To improve his performance in these segments, Viljoen should focus on specific training strategies and techniques. Here are some suggestions:

1. Running 6:

3. Running 7:
Viljoen was 00:46 slower than the average in this segment. To improve his running efficiency and speed, he should focus on strength training exercises that target the muscles used in running, such as squats, lunges, and calf raises.

To improve his overall performance in future races, Viljoen should consider the following strategies:

1. Pacing:
Viljoen should focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race. This will help him avoid fatigue and prevent unnecessary time loss in certain segments.
