Race strategy

Hold a steady pace and save energy for every section.

  • 389m descent. Go easy, save your quads.
  • Steep 57% wall. Control your pace and stay focused.
  • Control your HR on the first mountain, save your quads on the descents until 26.2km, then run your race pace.
  • Start · 0.0km–1.5km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 1.5km–12.6km · Climb of 704m, descent of 389m averaging 15%, high point 1055m, descent of 379m averaging 19%. Plus 1 more climb. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. This descent is hard on the legs: short steps, stay in control, poles if you have them. Hike the steepest pitches.
  • Work · 12.6km–26.2km · Descent of 550m averaging 21%, climb of 508m, descent of 717m averaging 11%. Plus 2 more climbs and 1 descent. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. This descent is hard on the legs: short steps, stay in control, poles if you have them. Hike the steepest pitches.
  • Fade · 26.2km–32.8km · Climb of 637m. Plus 1 more descent. Your energy fades, and that's normal: hold a steady effort and stop counting the miles. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. Hike the steepest pitches. Your heart rate drifts down on its own: don't chase your early-race numbers, go by feel.
  • Home · 32.8km–37.4km · Climb of 195m. No heroics: settle back into your own effort and hold it to the line. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.
