Difficulty breakdown: The Kozakov is a tough climb: 10.6 km with 494 m of elevation gain, averaging 4.7%. The start, from KM 0.0 to KM 3.0, is fairly steady at 4-5%, before a short descent between KM 3.0 and KM 4.0. The real work begins at KM 4.0-5.0 at 6%, then gets harder with three kilometres at 7% (from KM 5.0 to KM 8.0), which really takes it out of your legs over time. The KM 9.0-10.0 section at 6% adds more pain before a final stretch at 5%.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start Over KM 0.0-3.0, find a steady rhythm and don't burn matches for no reason, because the hard part is still ahead.
2. Keep your cadence up through KM 5.0-8.0 On this 7% block, spin a smooth cadence and hold a steady output rather than surging, which will empty the tank fast.
3. Make the most of the descent between KM 3.0 and KM 4.0 This short -3% downhill is your chance to recover, drink, and fuel up before tackling the 6% ramp at KM 4.0-5.0.
