Strategies
- Jared should focus on maintaining a steady pace throughout the race, especially during longer segments such as Running 8. Pacing himself properly will help him conserve energy and perform better overall.
- During strength-based segments such as the Sled Push, Farmers Carry, and Sandbag Lunges, Jared should prioritize maintaining proper form and technique. This will help him move efficiently and avoid unnecessary energy expenditure.
- Jared should also pay attention to his transitions in the Roxzone, as this is an area where he can potentially gain time. Improving his overall fitness and working on faster transitions will contribute to a faster overall race time.
- Finally, Jared should continue to prioritize his running training, as his performance in the running segments was a strength. Incorporating interval training, long-distance runs, and tempo runs into his training routine will help him maintain and improve his running performance.
