  • Technique: Practice smoother transitions between jumps and minimize time spent on the ground.
• Roxzone: With a time 00:56 slower than average, Rebecca's transition times need improvement:
  • Drills: Transition practice drills focusing on quick equipment handling and efficient movement between stations.
  • Exercises: Circuit training that mimics race transitions to improve overall fitness and reduce downtime.

Race Strategies

• Start with Controlled Intensity: Begin the race at a sustainable pace to conserve energy for later stages, as Rebecca's initial split times suggest she can maintain or increase pace effectively.
• Focus on Efficient Transitions: Practice quick transitions between exercise zones to minimize Roxzone time. Consider mental cues and visualization techniques to stay focused and reduce hesitation.
• Capitalize on Running Strength: Since running is a strong suit, use it as a recovery period from strength exercises to maintain a steady overall pace.
• Implement Mental Strategies: Use positive self-talk and visualization techniques to stay engaged and motivated during the more challenging segments like Burpees and Sled Pull.
