Segments to Improve

1. Roxzone: Felix spent 00:07:59 in the Roxzone, which was 01:39 slower than the average. To improve this segment, he should focus on improving his overall fitness and reducing his transition time. Incorporating interval training and circuit workouts into his training routine can help improve his cardiovascular endurance and speed up his transitions between exercises.

2. Sled Push: Felix's time of 00:04:04 in the sled push segment was 00:55 slower than the average. To improve in this area, he should focus on building strength in his lower body and improving his pushing technique.
