Tips for managing your effort:
1. Controlling the start: The first 4 km get progressively harder (from 4% to 11%). Don't go out too hard, and save your legs for the 11% wall.
2. Preparing for the "wall": The 11% kilometre (KM 2.0-2.5) is the decisive one. Select a gear suited to the approach so you can keep your cadence up and avoid blowing up.
3. Recovering on the easier stretch: After the peak of the difficulty, the 4% to 6% gradients between KM 4.0 and 8.0 give you a chance to recover before the final, quirky kilometres.
