Strategies
During the race, Jonathan should focus on maintaining a consistent pace and avoiding going out too fast at the beginning. Pacing himself properly will help him conserve energy for the later segments and prevent fatigue. He should also focus on efficient transitions between segments to minimize time spent in the roxzone. By improving his overall fitness and transition time, Jonathan can enhance his performance in the race. Additionally, he should consider incorporating more strength training exercises if his total running time is faster than average and more running training if it is slower than average. This will help him improve his overall performance in both aspects of the race.
