Race strategy

Hold a steady pace and save energy for every section.

  • 268m descent. Go easy, save your quads.
  • Start easy and control your HR up to 15.2km.
  • Hold your race pace up to the aid station at 19.2km, but stay in control.
  • Control your HR on the first mountain, save your quads on the way down from it until 7.2km, then run your race pace.
  • Start · 0.0km–2.4km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 2.4km–15.2km · Descent of 268m averaging 10%. 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. Running pays off here: run wherever you can.
  • Work · 15.2km–19.5km · Climb of 255m, high point 287m. Plus 1 more descent. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.
  • Home · 19.5km–26.1km · Climb of 143m. Build to the finish: leave whatever you have left out on the course. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.

  • #1 · 4.5–7.2 km · 268 m D−, -9.8% · 18.9 km ahead → control
  • 17.3–19.5 km · 346 m D−, -15.3% · 6.6 km ahead → your pace
