Exercises such as squats, lunges, and deadlifts can help strengthen her lower body muscles, which are crucial for pushing the sled. Additionally, practicing proper sled pushing technique, including maintaining a low center of gravity, using her legs rather than her arms, and pushing with controlled force, will result in more efficient sled pushing.

5. Running 4: Rosine's split time for the fourth running segment was 00:06:36, which was 15 seconds slower than the average. To improve her running performance in this segment, she should focus on building endurance and maintaining a consistent pace. Incorporating interval training, fartlek runs, and hill repeats into her training routine will help improve her endurance and ability to maintain a faster pace. Additionally, working on her mental resilience and pushing through fatigue during the race will contribute to better overall performance.

6. Running 3: Rosine's split time for the third running segment was 00:06:30, which was 11 seconds slower than the average. To improve her running performance in this segment, she should focus on improving her speed and agility. Incorporating speed workouts such as interval training, sprints, and agility drills into her training routine will help improve her speed and agility. Additionally, working on her running form and technique, including maintaining an upright posture, engaging her core, and using her arms efficiently, will result in more efficient running.

7. Running 6: Rosine's split time for the sixth running segment was 00:06:39, which was 11 seconds slower than the average. To improve her running performance in this segment, she should focus on building endurance and maintaining a consistent pace. Incorporating long-distance runs, tempo runs, and hill repeats into her training routine will help improve her endurance and ability to maintain a faster pace. Additionally, practicing mental strategies such as positive self-talk and visualization can help her push through fatigue and maintain focus during the race.

Strategies

- Pacing: Rosine should aim to maintain a consistent pace throughout the race, especially during the running segments. Starting too fast can lead to early fatigue, while starting too slow can result in wasted energy and difficulty catching up later. By maintaining a steady pace, she can optimize her performance and avoid burnout.
- Transitions: Rosine should aim to minimize the time spent in the roxzone, as this indicates rest or slower transition times. Improving overall fitness and practicing efficient transitions can help her reduce the time spent in the roxzone and improve her overall race time.
- Strength Training: Given Rosine's strong running performance, she should continue to prioritize strength training to maintain her advantage. Incorporating exercises that target the lower body, such as squats, lunges, and deadlifts, will help her build strength and power, contributing to better overall performance.
- Running Training: While Rosine excels in running, she should still incorporate specific running training into her routine to further enhance her performance. This can include interval training, hill sprints, tempo runs, and long-distance runs to improve endurance, speed, and overall running efficiency.
- Mental Focus: Rosine should work on developing mental strategies to maintain focus and push through fatigue during the race. This can include positive self-talk, visualization, and mental resilience exercises to stay motivated and perform at her best throughout the entire race.
- Technique and Form: Rosine should continue to work on her technique and form in each segment, as efficient movement patterns can lead to better overall performance. This includes maintaining proper posture, engaging the core, using the arms effectively, and practicing specific techniques for each exercise, such as rowing and sled pushing.
