Jakob should also pay attention to his transitions and aim to make them as smooth and efficient as possible. Practicing transitions during training sessions and visualizing the race beforehand can help him improve in this area. Additionally, Jakob should set realistic goals for each segment and pace himself accordingly to avoid fatigue.
