Tips for managing your effort:
1. Don't go out too hard. Pace yourself through that first kilometre at 12% so you reach the core of the climb with something left in the tank.
2. Make the most of the relative flat. The 2% section at km 1.0-1.5 is perfect for catching your breath, grabbing a drink, and shifting into an easier gear to get your cadence back.
3. Save something for the finish. Keep km 4.0-4.5 at 7% under control so you still have the legs to stay powerful through the final stretch from km 4.5-5.0, where it eases to 4% and you can launch your last effort.
