Difficulty analysis: The Kopalina from Zarnowa is a tough climb: 3 km for 234 m of elevation gain, with an average gradient of 7.9%. The profile is very consistent. The sections from km 0.0-1.5 at 9%, then from km 2.0-3.0 at 8 or 9%, give you no real respite. Only km 1.5-2.0, at 3%, offers a genuine breather, which makes the effort steady and grinding over time, typical of a Cat 2 climb.
Pacing tips:
1. Don't go out too hard from km 0.0-0.5: the 9% gradient right from the bottom means you need to find a steady rhythm quickly, without red-lining it and paying for it later on.
2. Use km 1.5-2.0 to recover: with only 3% gradient, this is the perfect moment to get your breath back, relax your shoulders and top up on water and energy.
3. Save something for km 2.5-3.0: the 9% gradient all the way to the finish demands a cool head, so keep a bit of punch in reserve to finish strong over the last stretch.
