Strategies

- Pacing: Based on the splits analysis, Felix's pacing seems relatively consistent throughout the race. However, he should ensure that he starts the race at a sustainable pace, avoiding starting too fast and risking fatigue later on. He should aim to maintain a steady pace throughout the race, making adjustments as necessary.
