Good question!

You are right, in this context would be a "local maximum", because they are stuck on "lap completion %", something you want to maximize but you can get stuck on a "local maximum".

I used "local minimum" because I was thinking on "lap completion time", something you want to minimize but you can get stuck on a "local minimum".

In short: You can use Maximum or Minimum depending of what are you measuring.
