Segments to Improve

• Burpees Broad Jump: Theresa was 01:37 slower than average. To improve, she should focus on plyometric exercises to enhance explosive power, such as box jumps and squat jumps. Technique drills that emphasize a seamless transition between the burpee and broad jump phases can also be beneficial.
• Sled Pull: She was 01:18 slower than average. Incorporating lower body strength training with an emphasis on posterior chain exercises, like deadlifts and hamstring curls, will help. Practicing sled pulls at varying weights and distances can also improve endurance and technique.
• Wall Balls: With a time 00:53 slower than average, focusing on improving squat depth and wall ball accuracy will be key. Performing wall ball drills with different weights can help build endurance and accuracy.
• Sandbag Lunges: Being 00:48 slower than average, Theresa should focus on improving her lunge form and strength. Adding weighted lunges and core stability exercises to her routine will enhance performance in this segment.
• Sled Push: At 00:35 slower than average, building leg strength through exercises such as squats and leg presses, coupled with sled push practice, will be beneficial.
• Ski Erg: Theresa was 00:29 slower than average. Focusing on technique, especially in maintaining a steady rhythm and efficient stroke, alongside upper body endurance exercises, will aid improvement.
• Roxzone: Her performance was average. Improving overall fitness, enhancing transition speed between exercises, and focusing on efficient breathing techniques will help reduce time spent in this segment.
• Rowing: 00:14 slower than average, enhancements can be made by focusing on rowing technique, core engagement, and upper body stamina.

Race Strategies

• Pacing Strategy: While Theresa's conservative start allowed for a consistent pace, exploring a slightly more aggressive start in the initial laps might help capitalize on her strong running capability without compromising endurance.
• Transition Efficiency: Reducing time in the Roxzone can significantly enhance overall performance. Practice swift transitions during training to simulate race conditions.
• Compromised Running Drills: Implementing running drills immediately after strength exercises in training will help adapt to the fatigue experienced during the race, improving her ability to maintain speed after intense segments.
• Breathing Techniques: Efficient breathing techniques during strength exercises will help in maintaining energy levels and reducing transition times.
