Sebastian should practice quick and smooth transitions, ensuring that he is ready to start the next exercise without delay. Developing a routine and practicing it during training sessions will help optimize his transitions on race day.

- Strength Training: Sebastian should continue to prioritize strength training, focusing on exercises that target the muscles used in the specific race segments he struggled with. By improving his strength and power, he will be better equipped to handle the challenges of the race.

- Endurance Training: Sebastian should incorporate both cardiovascular and muscular endurance training into his routine. This will help him maintain a strong pace throughout the race and improve his overall performance.

- Mental Preparation: Mental preparation is just as important as physical training. Sebastian should work on developing mental toughness and strategies to stay focused and motivated during the race. Visualization, positive self-talk, and setting achievable goals can all contribute to a successful race day.
