Strategies

1. Pacing: Based on Angela's overall performance and splits analysis, it appears that she has a tendency to start strong and maintain a consistent pace throughout the race. To optimize her performance, Angela should focus on pacing herself evenly from the beginning, ensuring that she doesn't exhaust herself too early or hold back too much.

2. Hybrid Training: Given Angela's faster running times compared to the average, she should continue to focus on developing her running abilities. However, she should also prioritize strength training to improve her performance in segments such as Wall Balls, Sled Pull, and Roxzone. Incorporating a combination of running and strength training into her routine will help her excel in both areas.

3. Practice Transitions: To improve the time spent in the Roxzone, Angela should focus on practicing quick and efficient transitions between exercises. Setting up a mock race scenario and timing herself during transitions can help identify areas for improvement and allow her to fine-tune her transitions.
