Race strategy

Short race: go all out.

  • Steep 34% wall. Control your pace and stay focused.
  • Hold your race pace up to 6.0km, but stay in control.
  • Control your HR on the first mountain, and go all out on the final descent from 6.0km.
  • Start · 0.0km–1.4km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Work · 1.4km–6.0km · Climb of 877m. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. Hike the steepest pitches.
  • Home · 6.0km–9.4km · Descent of 242m averaging 7%, high point 1724m. Kick for the line: give it everything you've got.

Poles

Trekking poles are strongly recommended: about 2.1km of the course is steep enough for them to pay off.
