Strategies

- Justin should focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race, avoiding starting too fast and burning out later on. It's important to find a sustainable pace that allows him to maintain his speed and energy levels throughout each segment.
- He should also prioritize efficient transitions between exercises to minimize time spent in the Roxzone. Practicing quick, smooth transitions during training can help improve his overall race performance.
- Justin should make sure to properly warm up before the race, including dynamic stretching and activation exercises specific to the movements and muscles involved in each segment.
- During the race, Justin should listen to his body and adjust his effort level accordingly. Pushing too hard too soon can lead to fatigue and decreased performance later on, so pacing himself strategically is key.
- Finally, Justin should focus on maintaining good form and technique throughout each segment to optimize his performance and reduce the risk of injury. Practicing proper form during training sessions will help him engrain these movement patterns and execute them effectively during the race.
