This positions him as a better runner, indicating that his strength lies primarily in endurance and speed. His pacing strategy started strong with initial running segments performed faster than average, but saw a slight decline as the race progressed, suggesting a need for better energy management and perhaps over-pacing in the initial stages. Overall, he ranked 387th out of 1115 athletes, placing him in the top 34%, and within his age group, he ranked 107th out of 292 athletes, placing him in the top 36%.

Segments to Improve

• Sled Pull: Dzul underperformed significantly in the sled pull, 1:45 slower than average. To improve, he should focus on upper body and core strength.
  • Exercises: Include deadlifts, bent-over rows, and core stability exercises like planks and Russian twists.
  • Form Technique: Work on maintaining a low, stable center of gravity while pulling, ensuring efficient use of leg and core muscles.
• Burpees Broad Jump: This was another challenging segment. Improving explosiveness and endurance is key.
  • Exercises: Plyometric training such as box jumps, burpees variations, and shuttle runs.
  • Drills: Incorporate burpee ladder drills to enhance speed and endurance.
• Sandbag Lunges: Lagging by 57 seconds calls for improved leg strength and endurance.
  • Exercises: Focus on weighted lunges, Bulgarian split squats, and step-ups.
  • Drills: Practice with sandbags to simulate race conditions, emphasizing controlled, deep lunges.
• Rowing: Falling behind by 36 seconds suggests a need to improve rowing technique and power.
  • Exercises: Incorporate intervals on the rowing machine focusing on stroke rate and power output.
  • Technique: Practice maintaining a strong, consistent stroke with proper form.
• Ski Erg: Being 33 seconds slower than average indicates a need for enhanced upper body endurance and technique.
  • Exercises: Engage in high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the ski erg to boost anaerobic capacity.
  • Technique: Focus on efficient pole plant and pull through, utilizing both core and arms effectively.

Race Strategies

• Pacing Strategy: Start with a conservative pace in the initial running segments to conserve energy for later stages, ensuring a more balanced performance throughout the race.
• Transition Efficiency: Although the roxzone time was significantly faster than average, maintaining this efficiency throughout transitions can help conserve energy and improve overall race time.
• Compromised Running: Practice running under fatigue to simulate race conditions post-strength segments, improving the ability to maintain speed despite muscle fatigue.
• Pre-Race Warm-Up: Incorporate dynamic warm-up routines that include mobility drills and light cardio to ensure muscles are primed for high-intensity efforts, optimizing initial segment performances.
