Strategies

- During the race, Kummer should focus on maintaining a consistent and steady pace to avoid burning out too early. This will help ensure she has enough energy for the later segments of the race.
- She should also pay attention to her transitions between exercises and strive to minimize time spent in the roxzone. Practicing quick and efficient transitions during training sessions can help improve her overall race time.
- Kummer should consider incorporating specific training sessions that simulate the demands of the race, such as back-to-back exercises or circuits that combine different movements. This will help her build the necessary endurance and mental resilience required for the race.
- It is important for Kummer to listen to her body and make adjustments during the race if needed. If she feels fatigued in a particular segment, she can consider pacing herself slightly slower to conserve energy for the later stages.
- Kummer should also focus on maintaining proper form and technique throughout the race. This will help prevent injuries and improve overall efficiency in each exercise.

By focusing on these areas of improvement and implementing the suggested training strategies and techniques, Dorothee Kummer can enhance her performance in future HYROX races and continue to excel in her age group.
