Pacing tips:
1. Manage the start. Don't go out too hard over the first kilometres at 3% (KM 0.0 to 2.5) so you still have something left for later.
2. Settle into a rhythm in the middle section. On the KM 2.5 to 4.0 stretch, pick a gear that lets you spin smoothly up the 5 to 6% pitches without mashing the pedals.
3. Save something for the finale. Keep some power in reserve for KM 4.0 to 5.4 at 7%, staying seated and steady all the way to the summit.
