Pacing tips:
1. Start controlled: Don't go out too hard over the first 500 metres at 7%. Settle into a steady rhythm or you'll blow up early.
2. Make the most of the breather: The section between 2.0 and 3.0 km (3-4%) is the easiest part. Use it to recover and get your gearing sorted before the final push.
3. Pick up the pace gradually: Be ready for the ramp back up to 5% after km 3.0. Increase your cadence little by little to hold speed all the way to the top.
