2. Save something for the crux: Hold some energy in reserve for the steepest kilometer (10% at km 6) and the tough block from km 4 to 8.
3. Use the easier stretches: Km 3-4 (5%) and the final section (6%) are slightly more manageable. Use them to recover without letting off the pressure completely.
