Strategies

- Alberto should focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race to avoid burning out early. It is important to pace oneself and not push too hard in the early segments, as this can lead to fatigue later on.
- Prioritizing transitions between exercises can help reduce time spent in the roxzone. Practicing quick and efficient transitions during training can pay off during the race.
- Alberto should consider dedicating specific training sessions to the segments with the most time lost, such as the roxzone, Wall Balls, Sled Pull, Sled Push, Ski Erg, and Rowing. Incorporating specific exercises and drills that target the muscles used in these segments can help improve performance.
- It is also important for Alberto to focus on recovery and rest days to prevent overtraining and reduce the risk of injury. Listening to his body and incorporating adequate rest into his training plan will contribute to overall better performance.
