Segments to Improve

• Roxzone (00:05:23): Carlos's roxzone time was slower than average, indicating that he took more time in transitions or for resting. To improve this, Carlos should focus on enhancing his overall fitness and efficiency in transitions. Incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts could be beneficial in improving cardiovascular fitness and recovery times. Also, practicing transitions between different exercises can help reduce downtime during the race.
• Sled Push (00:03:14): Carlos's sled push time was slower than average, suggesting a need for strength training, particularly targeting the legs and core. Exercises like squats, lunges, and deadlifts can be incorporated into his training routine to improve his pushing power.
