Race Strategies:

• Matteo should consider adopting a slightly more aggressive start to his race, ensuring he doesn't expend too much energy but avoids the slower pacing seen in the initial running segments.
• Implement a pacing strategy that allows for faster recovery in the Roxzone. Time spent resting can be minimized by practicing transitions and maintaining a consistent heart rate throughout the race.
• During strength-based segments, focus on maintaining form to prevent energy wastage and potential muscle fatigue. Use breathing techniques to manage exertion levels effectively.
• Consider incorporating visualization and mental preparation techniques to enhance focus and transition efficiency during races.
