Difficulty breakdown: Rated Cat 1, the Finca San Antonio from Comasagua covers 4.7 km for 332 m of elevation gain, for an average gradient of 7%. Most of the difficulty comes in the first few kilometres, with 12% between 0.0 and 0.5 km and 13% between 0.5 and 1.0 km, then 10% between 1.0 and 1.5 km. The rest offers some relief with gradients between 2 and 5%, but the final 220 m at 9% (from 4.5 to 4.7 km) can really hurt the legs.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start. The first 1.5 km at 10% and above are tempting to go out too hard on, so keep a smooth cadence and save some energy for later.
2. Make the most of the slight downhill. Between 2.0 and 2.5 km, the -1% gradient gives you a chance to recover, drink and fuel up. Then, from 2.5 to 4.5 km, ride in a moderate gear with a steady cadence.
3. Save something for the finale. On the last 220 m at 9%, don't hesitate to stand up out of the saddle to attack, and give everything you have left all the way to the line.
