2. Transition Time:
To improve his overall race performance, Steven should work on reducing his transition time in the roxzone. This can be achieved by improving his overall fitness level and practicing quick and efficient transitions between exercises. Incorporating high-intensity interval training and circuit training into his routine can help improve his overall fitness and speed up his transition time.

3. Mental Preparation:
