Strategies

1. Pace Management: Buhse should focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race. Avoiding starting too fast and burning out early can help ensure a steady performance. He should also consider strategically pushing harder in segments where he has a strength advantage, such as the sled push and sled pull, to gain time.

2. Efficient Transitions: Buhse should work on improving his transition time between exercises. Practicing the specific transitions during training can help him become more efficient and minimize time lost during the roxzone.

3. Mental Preparation: Buhse should mentally prepare himself for the race by visualizing each segment and focusing on maintaining a positive mindset throughout. Mental toughness and focus can greatly impact performance.
