Strategies

During the race, Gabby should focus on maintaining a consistent pace and avoiding starting too fast, which can lead to fatigue later on. She has shown strength in the running segments, so she should aim to capitalize on this by pushing the pace during the runs and gaining an advantage over her competitors.

Additionally, Gabby should pay attention to her transition times between exercises in the Roxzone. By practicing quick and efficient transitions during training, she can minimize the time spent in the Roxzone and gain an advantage over her competitors.

Overall, Gabby should continue to prioritize her running training, as it is a strength for her. However, she should also incorporate strength and power exercises to improve her performance in the areas where she lost time. By focusing on specific drills and techniques tailored to her weaknesses, Gabby can continue to improve her performance in future races.
