Strategies

- Cedric should focus on pacing himself throughout the race to ensure he maintains a consistent effort level. Starting too fast can lead to fatigue later in the race, while starting too slow can result in missed opportunities to gain positions.
- During the running segments, Cedric should aim to maintain a steady pace and avoid sprinting at the beginning, which can lead to exhaustion later on.
- In the strength segments, Cedric should focus on maintaining proper form and technique while pushing himself to complete the exercises as efficiently as possible.
- Cedric should also work on his transitions between segments to minimize the time spent in the roxzone. Practicing quick and efficient transitions during training sessions will help improve his overall race performance.
- Lastly, Cedric should listen to his body and adjust his race strategy accordingly. If he feels fatigued or is struggling in a particular segment, he should consider taking a short break to recover and regain energy before continuing.
