How to manage your effort:
1. Riding the surges: Dig in on the steep sections (km 1-3 and 5-7), then spin the legs over on the easier stretches (km 4 and 8) to save energy for later.
2. Keeping a steady rhythm: Pick a gear that lets you hold a smooth cadence, especially over the first kilometres at 10%, so you don't blow up your legs right from the start.
3. Saving something for the finish: The last three kilometres (3-5%) are relatively manageable. Keep something in the tank so you can attack in this final part if your legs are feeling good.
