2. Use the easier sections to recover: KM 1.5-2.0 (3%) and especially KM 4.5-5.0 (2%) are your chance to ease off a little, drink, and get your breathing back under control before the final short ramp.
3. Keep a steady rhythm on the 6% sections: Across the three consecutive 6% segments, hold a constant gear and avoid surges so your legs last.
