Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Start controlled: Resist the urge to go too hard over the first steep kilometres to avoid blowing up with early lactic build-up.
2. Active recovery: Use the middle section (KM 4-8, low gradient) to ease off slightly and recover your legs without losing too much time.
3. Save something for the end: Look ahead to the steeper finale (KM 9-10.7) and keep some energy in the tank so you can hold your rhythm through the decisive final stretch.
