Excited to line up for my first one on Sunday.
Route looks like the climbing is quite front loaded, but the profile may be deceptive...

The Maitlands Climb is the one that kills me usually.
I think there are a few before that that are more steep, but a lot shorter.

A Strava route from a few years ago, but I think it is the same.

Probably my favourite event (though I don't do many).
I didn't see or hear a single fall this year, which was really nice!
Unfortunately I again couldn't make it over Maitlands with the front of AL, so from there it was two to three (successfully) trying to stay away from the rest of the group.

They could be slightly more strict with who starts in which group - we caught a CL, that must have started a few groups before AL. Made no difference for this person, at the rate we passed them, they won nothing by starting early.

Sure it wasn't a C1?

I don't THINK so, didn't look like an elite at the time... but considering my HR for the last 1.5 hours of the race, anything is possible
