1. Don't go out too hard. Take the first 2 km at 6% with a steady pace, without exceeding your threshold, so you save some energy for what's coming.
2. Recover on the flat or rolling sections. On KM 2.0-2.5 (0%) and KM 3.5-4.0 (1%), stay seated, relax your shoulders and settle back into a smooth, even rhythm.
3. Prepare for the final push. Between KM 6.0 and 7.0, shift to a suitable gear, stay in the saddle and gradually increase your effort to finish strong.
