Segments to Improve

• Sled Pull: This segment was 01:32 slower than average, ranking in the 95th percentile.
  • Training Strategies: Focus on building upper body and core strength. Incorporate exercises like bent-over rows, lat pulldowns, and planks.
  • Technique Drills: Practice sled pulls with varied resistance to improve endurance and efficiency.
  • Form Corrections: Ensure proper posture during pulls, keeping the back straight and engaging the core to avoid fatigue.
  • Compromised Running: Simulate running immediately after sled pulls in training to adapt to the transition.
• Sandbag Lunges: This was 00:42 slower than average, ranking in the 89th percentile.
  • Training Strategies: Improve leg strength and endurance with squats, lunges, and step-ups.
  • Technique Drills: Practice sandbag carries and lunges with varying weights to enhance balance and strength.
  • Form Corrections: Focus on maintaining an upright position and controlled descent during lunges to prevent energy loss.
  • Compromised Running: Incorporate running drills after lunges to improve transition smoothness.
• Wall Balls: This segment was 00:01 slower than average, ranking in the 48th percentile.
  • Training Strategies: Work on explosive power and coordination with plyometric exercises like box jumps and medicine ball throws.

  • Form Corrections: Ensure proper squat depth and follow-through in throws to maximize efficiency.
  • Compromised Running: Conduct short sprints post-wall balls in training to enhance transition capability.

Race Strategies

• Pacing: Consider a more controlled start to conserve energy for strength segments. This might prevent performance dips in later stages.
• Transition Efficiency: Though Roxzone performance was slightly faster than average, further improvement can be achieved by practicing quick transitions and reducing rest periods between zones.
• Hybrid Training Balance: While Alex's running is strong, incorporating more strength-based workouts will create a more balanced hybrid athlete, improving performance across the board.
• Tactical Approach: Strategize the race by identifying segments where time can be gained and focusing efforts on maintaining a steady, sustainable pace throughout.
