Difficulty analysis: At 15.1 km with 877 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5.8%, Mount al Hawaya is a HC climb that is demanding over the long haul. The profile is uneven: km 2 to 4 and km 6 to 8 both sit between 8% and 10%, and the km 12 to 13 section kicks up to 13%, the hardest part of the climb. The flat section from km 4 to 5 offers a rare breather, but the real difficulty lies in the repeated efforts over the whole distance.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Don't go out too hard: the first two kilometres are fairly gentle (1%, then 2%), so use them to find your rhythm before the 8 to 10% ramps that follow.
2. Make the most of the flat: km 4 to 5, at 0%, is your chance to recover, drink and eat before the climb resumes from km 5 to 6, at 5%.
3. Save something for the finale: tackle km 12 to 13 (13%) in an easy gear with a steady cadence, then recover on km 13 to 14, which is only 2%.
