Race execution

Station performance focus.

Leg endurance, shoulder stamina, throwing consistency and pacing discipline.

  1. 01

    Generate power from the legs and keep the arms efficient through the throw.

  2. 02

    Catch into the next squat to remove pauses while the rhythm is sustainable.

  3. 03

    Choose planned sets and short rests that you have already proved in training.

Common mistakes

Where time gets lost.

01

Starting with an unsustainable set and creating long breaks later.

02

Throwing mainly with the arms and losing target accuracy as the shoulders fatigue.

03

Ignoring race standards in training and risking no-reps on race day.
