Pacing tips:
1. Save something for the middle section: Don't overcook the easy opening kilometres. Pace yourself so you reach the 4 to 6 km section (7% to 11%) with some left in the tank.
2. Anticipate the change of rhythm: Around the 4 km mark, get ready mentally and physically for a big jump in intensity. An easier gear can come in handy there.
3. The final is "recovery" time: The last 1.5 km (3-5%) let you ease off the pedals a little before the summit.
