Strategies

- Manolo should focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race to avoid burning out too early or losing momentum. Pacing himself properly can help ensure that he performs at his best throughout the entire event.
- He should also prioritize efficient transitions between exercises to minimize time spent in the roxzone. Practicing quick transitions during training can help improve his overall race time.
- Manolo should consider incorporating specific training sessions that target his weaker segments, such as wall balls and the ski erg. By dedicating time to these exercises during training, he can improve his performance in these areas and potentially gain an advantage during the race.
- In terms of overall training, Manolo should focus on a well-rounded approach that includes both strength and endurance exercises. Incorporating a mix of cardiovascular workouts, strength training, and functional movements will help him become a more well-rounded athlete and improve his performance in future races.
