Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing: Don't go out too hard. Save your legs for the 13% kilometer, which will be decisive for your overall tempo.
2. Anticipate the gradient changes: The gradient eases off noticeably after km 2.5. Use that section at 6%, then 4%, to recover by easing off the effort a little while keeping a steady cadence.
3. Mental split: Break the climb into three parts: a warm-up at the start (km 0-1.5), an intense effort you absolutely have to get through (km 1.5-2.5), and an easier final stretch to finish off (km 2.5-3.8).
