Konjic pass is a climb of 7.2 kilometers (category 1). Konjic pass tops out at 802 m above sea level. It is located in n/a, Federacija Bosne i Hercegovine, Bosna i Hercegovina / Босна и Херцеговина. The average gradient is 7.4% with a maximum of 15.2%. The climb has 536 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty breakdown: This Category 1 climb is genuinely hard because of its uneven profile. The 7.4% average gradient is deceptive: three sections at 11% (KM 2.5-3.0, KM 6.0-6.5) and two at 10% (KM 5.0-5.5) are the key crux points, and they are brutal, especially in the final part of the climb. The relative respite of the last section (3%) doesn't make up for the overall difficulty.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Managing the surges: Settle into a steady rhythm at the bottom of the climb (around 6-7%) to save energy and tackle the 10-11% sections without already being over the limit.
2. Prepare for the two crux sections: The first 11% section comes after 2.5 km, the second after 6 km. Save something for them by easing off slightly in the kilometres leading up to them (KM 2.0-2.5 at 5% and KM 5.5-6.0 at 5%).
3. Breathing and cadence: On the steep ramps, keep your cadence high (above 70-75 rpm) if you can, so your legs don't seize up, and control your breathing to make sure you're getting enough oxygen.
