Strategies
- Tessa should focus on maintaining a steady pace throughout the race to avoid burning out too early. It is important for her to pace herself properly in order to maintain energy and performance throughout all the segments.
- She should also pay attention to her transitions in the Roxzone, aiming to minimize the time spent in this area. Practicing quick transitions during training sessions can help improve her overall race time.
- Tessa should consider incorporating specific strength training exercises for the segments where she lost the most time, such as the Sled Push, Sled Pull, and Ski Erg. By targeting these areas during her training, she can improve her performance and reduce time lost in these segments.
- Additionally, she should continue to focus on her running training, as her total running time was faster than average. Incorporating interval training, hill sprints, and tempo runs can help improve her running performance even further.
