Dylan Toon's overall performance at the 2024 Chicago Navy Pier was commendable given it was a challenging race. With an overall rank within the top 66% of 282 athletes, he demonstrated a strong competitive spirit. Among his age group (30-34), he ranked in the top 74% of 94 athletes. It's noteworthy that Dylan's total running time was 00:50:35, which was 00:17 faster than the average time. This indicates that he has a running profile and his running is one of his strong points.

Analysis of his splits reveals that he began the race at a fast pace, with his Running 1 time being 02:18 faster than the average. However, as the race progressed, Dylan seemed to slow down, particularly in segments like Running 3 and Running 4, where he was slower than the average. This pattern suggests that Dylan might need to work on pacing himself better throughout the race.

Segments to Improve:

The Roxzone segment was one of Dylan's weakest segments, finishing 02:17 slower than the average. The Roxzone represents time spent between exercises and can be improved by focusing on endurance training and quicker transitions. Introducing high-intensity interval training (HIIT) into Dylan's routine can help improve overall endurance and speed up recovery between exercises.

• Sandbag Lunges: Dylan was slower than the average by 01:03. To improve his performance in this segment, he could incorporate specific strength training exercises into his routine, focusing on his lower body. Squats, lunges, and deadlifts can help build the necessary strength for this segment.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Dylan was 00:26 slower than the average. This segment requires a combination of strength, agility, and cardiovascular fitness. Incorporating plyometric exercises such as box jumps, burpees, and jumping lunges can help improve this.
• Sled Push and Sled Pull: Dylan was slower than average in both these segments. These exercises require strong leg and core muscles. Strength training focusing on these areas, along with functional fitness exercises like kettlebell swings and barbell squats, can help improve performance in these segments.
• Rowing: Dylan was 00:13 slower than average in this segment. Incorporating more rowing into his cardio sessions and focusing on improving his rowing technique could help boost his performance.

Race Strategies:

Based on Dylan's performance, he should consider the following strategies for future races:

• Improve Pacing: Dylan started the race at a fast pace but slowed down as the race progressed. He could benefit from pacing strategies, such as breaking the race into sections and setting a pace for each section.
• Transition Efficiency: Dylan needs to work on reducing his rest times and transitions between exercises, which will improve his Roxzone time. This could be improved with practice and through incorporating exercises that mimic the transition between race segments.
• Strength Training: While Dylan's running is strong, he could benefit from more strength training, particularly focusing on lower body and core exercises to improve performance in segments like the Sled Push and Pull, Sandbag Lunges, and Burpees Broad Jump.
