1. Pace yourself from the start Don't go out too hard on KM 0.0-0.5: the next two kilometers at 8% come up fast and will cost you a lot of energy.
2. Recover on the rolling sections Use KM 2.0-2.5 at 1% and KM 2.5-3.0 at 2% to catch your breath, drink, and fuel up.
3. Save something for the finish After the 5% ramp on KM 3.5-4.0, the flat on KM 4.0-4.5 is your chance to open up, but only once you've settled into a steady rhythm.
