Race strategy

Run hard on the first mountain, but save energy for the second.

  • 293m descent. Go easy, save your quads.
  • High point at 2635m. Control your HR at altitude.
  • The finish is runnable. Save your legs to run it all the way.
  • Control your HR on the first mountain, save your quads on the way down from it until 8.1km, then run your race pace.
  • Start · 0.0km–0.9km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 0.9km–6.5km · Climb of 870m. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.
  • Work · 6.5km–30.8km · Descent of 293m averaging 19%, climb of 608m, high point 2635m, descent of 1860m averaging 10%. 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. At altitude your pace drops, and that's fine.
  • Home · 30.8km–36.4km · 5.6km of runnable trail. No heroics: settle back into your own effort and hold it to the line. Running pays off here: run wherever you can.
