Difficulty breakdown: At 26.4 km for 1285 m of climbing and an average gradient of 4.9%, the Mount al Hawaya is a long, grinding ascent, rated HC. The real challenge is the duration: the vast majority of the kilometres are uphill, with some very steep sections such as km 0.0-1.0 (10%), km 11.0-12.0 (13%) and km 24.0-25.0 (13%). The flat stretches at km 6.0-7.0 and 8.0-9.0 give you a few breathers, but they're too short to really recover. The finale, with 13% then 7% over km 24.0-26.0, is going to hurt.
Pacing advice:
1. Don't go out too hard. The first kilometre at 10% tempts you to set a pace that's too high. Stay at an effort you can hold for the next 25 km.
2. Make the most of the flats and descents. Use km 6.0-7.0, km 8.0-9.0 and the descent at km 5.0-6.0 to loosen up your legs and catch your breath before the 13% ramp at km 11.0-12.0.
3. Save something for the end. Keep your effort controlled through km 24.0-25.0 and make sure you have enough left in the tank for the last 2 km at 7%.
