Incorporating strength training exercises that target the muscles used in the HYROX race, such as squats, lunges, and burpees, will help her improve her overall fitness and performance in the race.

In conclusion, Kim Vis performed well in the HYROX race in Maastricht, but there are areas where she can improve to enhance her performance.
