By improving his overall strength, Andreas will be able to perform better in the strength-based segments of the race.

3. Interval Training: Incorporating interval training into his training routine can help improve Andreas' overall cardiovascular endurance and speed. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions, such as sprint intervals or rowing intervals, can help improve his running performance and overall race time.

4. Transitions: Andreas should work on improving his transition time between exercises. Practicing smooth and efficient transitions during his training sessions can help him save valuable time during the race. Setting up a mock race scenario during training can help Andreas practice quick and seamless transitions.

5. Mental Preparation: Lastly, Andreas should focus on mental preparation for the race. Visualizing success, setting goals, and staying focused during the race can help improve performance. Incorporating mindfulness techniques, such as deep breathing and positive affirmations, can help Andreas stay mentally strong throughout the race.
