Sub 2:30 in every division

What a sub 2:30 takes
Running is 47% of this race: 8 km at 8:46 per km comes to 1:10:08. If your open 5 km pace is well under that, the time is in the stations. If it isn't, run training will move your finish most.
The longest station in this plan is Wall Balls at 11:59 (100 reps · 6 kg to 3.00 m for Open Men). The Wall Balls guide covers the standards and pacing.
Roxzone time adds up quietly. 12:38 spread over 16 transitions is about 0:47 each time you go in or out. Walking it with purpose instead of strolling is free time.
