Avoiding starting too fast and burning out early can help ensure he has enough energy and endurance to perform well in all segments. Practicing pacing strategies during training runs can help him develop a better sense of his optimal race pace.

2. Transition Efficiency: Martin should aim to reduce the time spent in transition zones (Roxzone) by practicing quick transitions during training sessions. This can involve setting up a mock race scenario and practicing moving efficiently between exercises. By improving his transition efficiency, he can save valuable time during the race.

3. Segment-Specific Training: Martin should incorporate segment-specific training into his routine to target areas where he lost time. This can involve focusing on exercises and drills that mimic the movements and demands of each segment.
