Segments to Improve:

The segments where Stuart has the most room for improvement are: Wall Balls, Run Total, Sandbag Lunges, Sled Pull, Farmers Carry, and Rowing.

• Wall Balls: Stuart was 00:01:41 slower than the 25th percentile.

Additionally, focusing on improving his technique in the Sled Pull, Farmers Carry, and Rowing segments could lead to better performance. This could involve working with a coach or trainer to identify any form issues and develop a plan to correct them.

Lastly, Stuart should continue to work on his transition times and overall fitness to further improve his performance in the roxzone. This could involve incorporating more high-intensity interval training into his routine, as well as practicing transitions between different exercises.
