Strategies
- Sergio should focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race to avoid burning out early on. It is essential to pace oneself and not go too fast at the beginning, as this can lead to fatigue later in the race.
- Sergio should also focus on proper form and technique during each exercise to maximize efficiency and minimize time wasted. Practicing the correct form for each exercise during training sessions will help improve performance during the race.
- During the race, Sergio should pay attention to his transitions between exercises and aim to minimize the time spent in the Roxzone. Practicing quick transitions during training sessions will help improve his overall race time.
- Sergio should also incorporate specific training sessions that focus on the segments where he lost the most time. By targeting these areas in his training, he can improve his performance in those segments and overall race time.
