Difficulty analysis: The Σταυρός from Anthoupoli is a 5.1 km climb with 249 m of elevation gain, at an average gradient of 4.9%, which puts it in 3rd category. The first kilometres, between 4% and 5% on km 0.0-2.0, already set a hard pace. The flat section at km 2.5-3.0 offers a short breather before the hardest part, between km 3.0 and km 4.5, where the gradient ramps up from 6% to 8%. The final stretch, km 4.5-5.0 at 6%, will come down to whatever legs you have left.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start. On km 0.0-2.0, at 4% and 5%, don't go out too hard so you arrive at the steepest section with something left in the tank.
2. Use the flat section to recover. On km 2.5-3.0, where the gradient is almost nil, catch your breath, drink and eat before the ramp to 8%.
3. Save some energy for the finish. Between km 3.0 and km 4.5, keep a steady cadence and save your last reserves for km 4.5-5.0, which still averages 6%.
