1. Use the start to find your rhythm: Use the first 3 km, which are fairly flat, to warm up and settle into a smooth gear without wasting energy.
2. Prepare for the change of pace after 3.5 km: The gradient ramps up noticeably towards the end. Save something for this decisive section and be ready to adjust your effort and your gearing.
3. Keep a steady cadence: Avoid surging on the steeper early pitches (KM 2.0-2.5) so you reach the final section (KM 4.0-5.3) with something left in the tank.
