Pacing tips:
1. Managing your effort in the middle section: Know that the steepest part (KM 2.0-5.0) is coming, and don't go out too hard. Hold a steady power output so you don't blow up before the summit.
2. Make the most of the breathers: The short flatter spots at 2% and 3% (KM 0.0-0.5, KM 2.5-3.0, KM 5.5-6.0) are chances to recover a bit by easing off slightly without losing rhythm.
3. Save something for the finish: The gradient eases to 4% over the last two kilometres. If you've paced yourself well, you can push the tempo up a notch in this final section.
