He should also work on maintaining a steady and efficient pace throughout the race, avoiding sudden bursts of speed that can lead to fatigue.

Strategies

1. Pacing: Grzegorz should focus on maintaining a consistent and sustainable pace throughout the race. Starting too fast can lead to early fatigue, while starting too slow can make it difficult to catch up later in the race. He should aim to evenly distribute his effort across all segments to optimize his overall performance.

2. Transition Time: Grzegorz should work on minimizing his transition time between segments. Improving his overall fitness and practicing quick and efficient transitions during training can help him save valuable time during the race.
