1. Pace yourself from the start: The first few kilometers (5-7%) are demanding. Don't go out too hard, so you have something left for the steeper second half.
2. Make the most of the breather at the 6th kilometer: The 3% section is a chance to recover, ease off the cadence a bit, and mentally prepare for the 7% and 8% pitches to come.
3. Save something for the finale: The last four kilometers (7-8%) are the hardest. Plan for them by controlling your effort on the middle sections.
