Race strategy

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

  • Final 593m descent. Save your legs to go all out on it.
  • Steep 38% wall. Control your pace and stay focused.
  • Control your HR on the first mountain, and go all out on the final descent from 9.3km.
  • Start · 0.0km–2.3km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 2.3km–9.3km · Climb of 550m. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.
  • Home · 9.3km–15.1km · Descent of 593m averaging 10%, high point 1889m. Build to the finish: leave whatever you have left out on the course. Hike the steepest pitches.
