1. Start controlled: Resist the urge to go hard from the bottom. The opening kilometers are steep (6-8%), so settle into a sensible rhythm to save your legs for later.
2. Make the most of the recovery section: The flatter stretch between KM 4.5 and 6.0 is a strategic opportunity. Ease off a little and recover actively before the final push.
3. Save something for the finale: Expect the gradient to ramp up again after KM 6.0. Attack this last part with fresh legs so you can hold your power all the way to the summit.
