Strategies

1. Pace Yourself: Manuel should focus on maintaining a steady pace throughout the race to avoid burning out early on. Starting too fast can lead to fatigue in later segments, resulting in slower times. It is important for Manuel to find a sustainable pace that allows him to maintain consistent performance throughout the race.

2. Efficient Transitions: Manuel should aim to minimize the time spent in the roxzone, as a slower roxzone time indicates more rest or longer transitions. To improve this segment, Manuel should work on improving his overall fitness and also focus on practicing quick and efficient transitions during his training sessions.

3. Focus on Strength and Running Balance: Manuel should aim to strike a balance between focusing on his running and strength training. If his total running time is faster than the average, he should prioritize strength training exercises to improve his overall strength and power.
