Practicing race-specific pace training and monitoring heart rate can help him maintain an optimal pace throughout the race.

2. Transitions: To improve his performance in the Roxzone, Fermin should focus on improving his transition time between exercises. Practicing quick and efficient transitions during training sessions can help reduce the time spent in the Roxzone and improve the overall race time.

3. Strength Training: Fermin should continue to prioritize strength training, especially focusing on upper body and grip strength. By incorporating exercises that target these areas into his training routine, he can improve his performance in segments such as the Sled Pull, Farmers Carry, and Burpees Broad Jump.

4. Endurance Training: While Fermin has a strong running profile, he should also focus on building his endurance in order to maintain a consistent pace throughout the race. Incorporating longer distance runs and interval training can help improve his cardiovascular fitness and endurance.

By implementing these strategies and focusing on the identified areas of improvement, Fermin can continue to enhance his performance in future Hyrox races.
