Difficulty analysis: At 24.3 km with 1332 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5.5%, Mount al Hawaya is rated HC and demands a long, sustained effort. The difficulty is concentrated in four very steep sections: km 3.0-4.0 (13%), km 7.0-8.0 (12%), km 8.0-9.0 (10%) and km 22.0-23.0 (13%). The stretches between 2 and 4% offer a few recovery moments, but the climb as a whole gradually drains your reserves. The finale, with km 22.0-23.0 at 13% followed by km 23.0-24.0 at 7%, will be particularly punishing.
Tips for pacing:
1. Don't go out too fast. Ease off on km 0.0-1.0 (4%) and km 1.0-2.0 (3%) so you arrive fresh at the first steep ramps.
2. Prepare for the 12-13% sections. Fit an easy gear for km 3.0-4.0, km 7.0-8.0 and km 22.0-23.0, and keep a steady cadence without mashing the pedals.
3. Recover on the easier sections. Use km 5.0-6.0 (2%) and km 15.0-16.0 (-1%) to drink, eat and let your legs recover, so you have energy left for the final third.
