Tips

Difficulty analysis: At 5 km for 300 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6%, Carina climb is a Cat 1 col that is demanding but steady. The real crux comes between km 2.0 and km 2.5, where the gradient hits 14% over more than 500 m, making it the hardest section of the climb. The other stretches, between 4% and 7%, are mostly about consistency, and the short descent from km 2.5 to km 3.0 (-2%) gives you a welcome breather.

Tips for pacing yourself:

1. Pace yourself from the start. From km 0.0 to 0.5, at 4%, settle into a steady rhythm so you still have something in the tank before the 14% section.

2. Tackle the steep ramp in an easier gear. From km 2.0 to 2.5, shift down early, stay seated, and focus on a smooth cadence rather than mashing the pedals.

3. Use the descent to recover. From km 2.5 to 3.0, eat, drink, and relax your legs so you arrive at the final kilometres, especially km 4.5 to 5.0 at 5%, with some strength left.
