Strategies
During the race, Frank should focus on pacing himself appropriately. It is important for him to start the race at a sustainable pace, so that he can maintain his energy levels throughout. Going out too fast in the beginning can lead to fatigue and decreased performance later on.
Frank should also pay attention to his transitions in the Roxzone. Improving his overall fitness and working on his transition time will help him minimize the time spent in the Roxzone.
Additionally, Frank should take advantage of his strong running profile. He can use this to his advantage by pushing himself harder during the running segments, which will allow him to gain time on his competitors.
