Strategies

- Phillip should focus on pacing himself throughout the race to avoid burning out too quickly. Starting at a slightly slower pace and gradually increasing his speed will help him maintain his energy levels and perform better overall.
- He should also prioritize efficient transitions between exercise zones to minimize time spent in the Roxzone. Practicing quick transitions during training sessions will help him improve his overall race time.
- Phillip should also consider incorporating strength training exercises that target the specific muscles used in each segment of the race. This will help him build the necessary strength and power to perform better in those segments.
- Finally, Phillip should pay attention to his nutrition and hydration leading up to and during the race. Proper fueling and hydration will support his performance and recovery.
