Strategies

- Stephanie should focus on pacing herself throughout the race to ensure she maintains a consistent speed and energy level. Going out too fast in the beginning can lead to fatigue later on, impacting her performance in later segments.
- She should prioritize transitions between segments to minimize time spent in the roxzone. Improving overall fitness and working on transition techniques can help her reduce the time spent in the roxzone.
- Stephanie should also consider incorporating specific strength training exercises into her routine to improve her performance in the strength-focused segments. This will help her maintain a competitive edge and minimize time loss in these areas.
- It is essential for Stephanie to maintain a balanced training approach, focusing on both running and strength training to ensure she performs well in all segments of the race. Incorporating cross-training activities such as cycling or swimming can also help improve overall fitness and endurance.
