Tips for pacing your effort:
1. Managing the start: The first 600m (11%-15%) are already tough. Avoid an explosive start so you don't blow your legs before the steepest sections (17% at KM 0.6-0.8).
2. Anticipating the spikes: The two steepest stretches (15%-17%) come between 0.4-0.8 km and 1.4-1.6 km. Ease off the pace slightly before these segments so you hit them with something left in the tank.
3. Holding a steady rhythm: No section drops below 11%. Find a sustainable cadence from the bottom and hold it, because the gradient never eases off from a high level.
