Additionally, she can work on her endurance to minimize rest periods during the race.

2. Total Running Time: Laura's total running time was 00:43:17, which was 01:04 slower than average. This suggests that she may benefit from incorporating more running-specific training into her routine. To enhance her running performance, Laura should focus on increasing her running volume and incorporating interval training to improve speed and endurance. Hill sprints, tempo runs, and long-distance runs can be beneficial for her running development.

3. Sled Push: Laura's time for the Sled Push segment was 00:03:34, which was 00:37 slower than average. To improve her performance in this segment, Laura should focus on building lower body strength and power. Exercises such as squats, lunges, and deadlifts can help strengthen the muscles used during the Sled Push. Additionally, practicing proper pushing technique and working on explosive power through exercises like box jumps can enhance her performance in this segment.

4. Rowing: Laura's time for the Rowing segment was 00:05:24, which was 00:15 slower than average.
