Strategies

- Martijn should focus on pacing himself properly throughout the race. Starting too fast can lead to fatigue later on, while starting too slow can result in missed opportunities to gain time. He should aim to maintain a steady and consistent pace from start to finish.
- Martijn should also work on transitions between exercises to minimize time spent in the Roxzone. Improving his overall fitness and practicing quick and efficient transitions during training can help him save valuable time during the race.
- During the race, Martijn should prioritize proper form and technique in each exercise. This will help him perform each movement efficiently and reduce the risk of injury.
- Martijn should also consider incorporating specific training sessions to target his weaker areas, such as interval training for running and strength training for the burpees and broad jumps.
- It may also be beneficial for Martijn to analyze the splits of athletes who performed well in the race and identify any strategies or techniques he can implement in his own training and racing.
