Strategies
- Supriya should focus on pacing herself throughout the race to maintain a consistent speed and energy level. Starting too fast can lead to fatigue later on, while starting too slow can result in lost time.
- She should prioritize her strengths, such as running, and ensure she maintains a strong pace in those segments.
- Supriya should also focus on efficient transitions between segments to minimize time spent in the roxzone. Improving overall fitness and transition time will help in this aspect.
- Mental strategies, such as positive self-talk and visualization, can help Supriya stay motivated and focused during the race.
By addressing the areas of improvement highlighted in this report and implementing the suggested training strategies and techniques, Supriya Purwaha can enhance her performance in future HYROX races.
