Strategies

- Carlos should focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race to avoid burnout. It is important for him to pace himself and not start too fast, especially in the running segments where he tends to lose time.
- He should also prioritize proper hydration and nutrition before and during the race to maintain energy levels and prevent fatigue.
- Carlos should practice efficient transitions between segments to minimize time spent in the Roxzone. He can simulate race conditions during training by setting up exercise stations and practicing quick transitions between them.
- It is crucial for Carlos to listen to his body and adjust his pace or intensity accordingly. Pushing too hard without considering fatigue can lead to decreased performance in later segments of the race.
- Carlos should work on mental preparation and focus during the race. Developing strategies to stay motivated and positive, such as visualization techniques or setting small goals throughout the race, can help improve his overall performance.
