1. Pace yourself from the start: Resist the urge to go too hard over the first 500m at 6%. Save something in the tank for the harder final section.
2. Use the descent to recover: The downhill section between 2.0 and 4.0 km is a chance for active recovery. Ease off the pedals without killing your momentum.
3. Prepare for the final ramp: From KM 3.0, the gradient picks up significantly (7%). Gradually increase your effort so you hit this crucial part of the climb without already being fatigued.
