2. Recovering on the descent Use the slightly downhill 3.5-4.0 km section to catch your breath, drink and eat something before the last part of the climb.
3. Staying steady to the summit On the 4.0-4.5 km section at 4%, hold a steady effort and save some energy for the 4.5-5.0 km stretch, which only ramps up at 1%.
