Pacing tips:
1. Control the start. Km 0-1 already hits 11%, so find a sustainable rhythm straight away and don't blow up before the long, steady middle section.
2. Recover on the flat bits. Make use of km 9-11 and 20-21, at just 2%, to get your breathing back under control, drink and take on some food.
3. Save something for the finale. After the almost flat km 26-27 at 1%, the last 700 metres ramp up to 12% and demand one final reserve of strength.
