Strategies

During the race, Benoit should focus on maintaining a steady pace and avoid starting too fast, as this can lead to fatigue later in the race. It's important for him to conserve energy during the earlier segments to ensure he has enough stamina for the later segments. He should also pay attention to his form and technique during each exercise to optimize his performance and minimize time lost during transitions.

Incorporating interval training and strength training exercises into Benoit's training routine will help him improve his overall fitness and performance in the specific areas where he lost time. Consistency and dedication to his training program will be key in achieving his goals and improving his performance in future races.
