Strategies

- Hollie should focus on pacing herself throughout the race to maintain a consistent speed and avoid early fatigue. This can be achieved by starting with a slightly slower pace and gradually increasing her speed as the race progresses.
- She should also strategize her transitions between exercises to minimize time spent in the roxzone. Improving her overall fitness and transition time can help reduce the time lost in this segment.
- Hollie should prioritize her training based on her running profile. As her total running time was slower than average, she should focus on improving her running performance by incorporating more running-specific workouts into her training routine.
- Incorporating interval training, hill sprints, and tempo runs can help improve her running speed and endurance.
- Hollie should also focus on improving her strength and power to excel in exercises such as the sled pull. Incorporating strength training exercises, such as deadlifts and squats, can help improve her overall strength for these exercises.
- Finally, she should work on her technique and form for each exercise to optimize her performance and efficiency.

Overall, Hollie had a strong performance in the Hyrox race. By implementing the suggested training strategies and techniques, she can further improve her performance and continue to excel in future races.
