There are 3 sections to this race. Kms 1-3 mainly downhill and flat. You’ll be under goal pace but be sure not to go too fast, you’ll need to conserve energy for the hills between 4-6km. This is when you’ll be working really hard, but dig deep, once you reach the main road it gets easier and you’ll get a 2nd wind.

The final stretch is flat, but still a grind. The finish down the high street is the best part so try and save some energy for a strong finish.
