Segments to Improve:

• Running: While Jake's total running time was faster than average, there were segments such as Running 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 where he was slower than average. He should focus on improving his endurance, to maintain a consistent pace throughout all running segments. Specific training strategies could include interval running and hill sprints to build up stamina and maintain a steady speed during the race.
• Sandbag Lunges: This was a significant area of improvement for Jake as he was 00:41 slower than average. He could work on improving his leg strength and stability. Exercises such as weighted lunges, step-ups, and squats could be beneficial. Also, practicing lunges with a sandbag could help him get accustomed to the weight and improve his performance in this segment.

Race Strategies:

Jake should consider implementing the following strategies during his races:

• Work on his pacing strategy, to ensure he doesn't lose energy in the later segments of the race. He should aim to start the race at a steady pace and conserve his energy for the latter part of the race.
• Focus on improving his transition time between different segments. This could be achieved through practicing transitions during training sessions.
• Consider incorporating more strength training into his routine, specifically focusing on exercises that mirror the movements in the race segments where he struggles most.
• Ensure he is adequately rested and hydrated before the race. Proper nutrition and hydration can significantly impact performance.
