6. Running 8: Semi Dedieu was 01:21 slower than the average time in this segment. To enhance his running performance in this segment, he should focus on improving his endurance and pacing. Incorporating longer distance runs into his training program can help improve his endurance. Additionally, practicing pacing strategies during training, such as negative splits or interval pacing, can help him maintain a consistent and efficient pace during the race.

7. Roxzone: Semi Dedieu spent 00:53 longer than the average time in the Roxzone. To improve his performance in this segment, he should focus on improving his overall fitness and transition time. Incorporating circuit training or HIIT workouts that simulate the transitions between exercises can help improve his overall fitness and transition speed. Additionally, practicing specific transitions during training can help him become more efficient and quick in the Roxzone.

Strategies
