Tips

Difficulty breakdown: Ha Pina is a tough climb: 7.6 km with 328 m of elevation gain, at an average gradient of 4.3%. The hard part is the first half. The sections KM 0.0-0.5 through KM 2.0-2.5 sit between 6% and 9%, with the steepest point at 9% between KM 1.0-1.5. After a rolling stretch between KM 3.0-3.5 and KM 4.0-4.5, the road kicks back up to 4% and 5% between KM 4.5-5.0 and KM 5.5-6.0, which makes the finish very selective.

Pacing tips:

1. Don't go out too hard. In the opening kilometres at 6% and 7%, pace yourself and save something for the 9% ramp between KM 1.0-1.5.

2. Make the most of the flat bit. Between KM 3.0-3.5 (2%) and KM 4.0-4.5 (0%), recover by spinning an easy gear at a steady rhythm, without fully backing off.

3. Manage the finish. From KM 5.5-6.0 at 5%, then on the KM 6.5-7.0 section at 1%, hold some power in reserve so you don't lose time on the gradient.
