Pacing tips:
1. Manage your pace: Ease into the first few kilometres (2% to 5% gradients) to avoid building up lactate before the tough sections.
2. Save something for the finale: Keep some in the tank for KM 3.0-4.0 (8% and 6%), and especially for the final push at 11%, where you may want to shift to an easier gear.
3. Make the most of the recovery sections: The 2% stretches (KM 1.0-1.5, 2.0-2.5, 4.0-4.5) are good chances to recover actively without losing too much speed.
