About Half

Race strategy

Run the climb at race pace, build your speed on the downhill, and go all out at the finish.

  • Final 985m descent. Save your legs to go all out on it.
  • Steep 31% wall. Control your pace and stay focused.
  • Control your HR on the first mountain, and start the final descent from 12.7km under control, then go all out near the bottom.
  • Start · 0.0km–1.9km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 1.9km–12.7km · Climb of 1126m, high point 1721m. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.
  • Home · 12.7km–22.6km · Descent of 985m averaging 10%. Build to the finish: leave whatever you have left out on the course. Very long descent: first half under control, then even, let go only near the end. Hike the steepest pitches.

Poles

Quad damage

Quad damage risk is low (index 16 of 100): a few descents worth noting, none of them decisive.

  • Control your HR on the first mountain, and start the final descent from 12.7km under control, then go all out near the bottom.
  • 12.6–22.6 km · 985 m D−, -9.9% · 0.0 km ahead → even, first half under control, let go at the end
