The hard part is between km 0.5 and km 1.5, where the gradient hits 10% for over 1 km, so you're working hard right from the start.

Tips for the effort:
1. Don't go out too hard. In the first 500 m at 5%, keep a steady tempo so you hit the 10% section with some left in the tank.
2. Make the most of the recovery from km 1.5 to km 2.0. This 2% section lets you recover and get your breath back before the second steep part.
3. Manage the ramp from km 2.0 to km 2.5. At 6%, keep a smooth, consistent cadence so you reach the final 2% section without being cooked.
