Strategies

- Maintain a consistent pace throughout the race to avoid burning out too early. It's important to start strong but not at a pace that cannot be sustained throughout the entire race.
- Prioritize efficient transitions between exercises to minimize time lost in the roxzone. Practice transitioning quickly and smoothly between different exercises during training.
- Focus on maintaining proper form and technique during all segments, especially those with the most time lost. This will help maximize efficiency and reduce the risk of injury.
- Set small goals and benchmarks throughout the race to stay motivated and maintain a competitive mindset. Breaking the race down into smaller segments can help mentally and physically.
- Stay hydrated and fuel properly before, during, and after the race. Proper nutrition and hydration are key to maintaining energy levels and performance throughout the race.
