- Practicing quick and efficient transitions between exercises to minimize time spent in the Roxzone.
- Incorporating exercises that simulate race scenarios, such as transitioning from a sled push to a sled pull, to improve overall race performance.

Strategies

- To optimize performance during the race, Robin should focus on pacing himself appropriately. While his overall time was solid, he should ensure that he does not start too fast and risk burning out later in the race.
- He should also aim to maintain a steady pace throughout the race, avoiding significant fluctuations in speed. Consistency is key to achieving a strong overall performance.
- Robin should prioritize efficient transitions between segments, aiming to minimize time spent in the Roxzone. This can be achieved through practicing quick transitions during training sessions and focusing on maintaining a smooth flow between exercises.
- Finally, he should continue to prioritize his running training, as his performance in the running segments was a clear strength. Incorporating specific running drills, interval training, and strength training exercises to improve his running speed and endurance will help him further excel in future races.
