Pacing advice:
1. Ride within yourself from the gun to survive the 13% of the first kilometer without blowing up.
2. Make the most of the flat section halfway up (KM 1.0-1.5) to recover and bring your heart rate down.
3. Settle into a steady rhythm for the final stretch, as the 5-7% grades are much more manageable after that brutal start.
