Strategies

- Maintain a consistent pace throughout the race to avoid burning out early. Pace yourself in the running segments to ensure you have enough energy for the strength exercises.
- Focus on efficient transitions between segments to minimize time spent in the roxzone. Practice transitioning quickly and smoothly between exercises during training.
- Incorporate interval training, such as sprints and tempo runs, to improve overall running speed and endurance.
- Prioritize strength training exercises that target the muscles used during the specific segments where time was lost. This will help improve overall strength and performance in those areas.
- Practice proper form and technique for each exercise to maximize efficiency and minimize time lost during movements.
- Work on improving grip strength through exercises such as deadlifts, farmer's walks, and pull-ups to enhance performance in grip-intensive segments like the farmers carry.
