2. Transition Efficiency: Work on improving transition times between exercises to minimize time spent in the roxzone. Practice smooth and quick transitions between exercises during training sessions to develop efficiency and save valuable time.

3. Specific Training: Tailor training sessions to focus on the weakest segments identified in the splits analysis. Incorporate specific exercises, drills, and training routines that target the areas of improvement mentioned above.

4. Mental Preparation: Develop mental strategies to stay focused and motivated throughout the race. Practice visualization techniques and positive self-talk to maintain a strong mental state during challenging segments.
