I just wanted to come back to say 30 minutes of 3.5 & 3.5 and then another 30 minutes of 3.5 & 3.5
It darn near beat my butt but I did it! Thank you so much for your advice. BTW, I only stopped to help a friend and then back onto the treadmill to finish the workout. I'm only 5'1.75" so 3.5 mph is really stepping.

Thanks for providing the ride profile for the Alpine Classic Extreme 250. That is some serious climbing! My finely tuned ride profile eyeballs saw on the route there are some nasty uphills on the "descents".
It appears that you fight your way up 12% grades, reach the summit, get ready for a quick and easy descent - then you collide with lousy 8% uphill climbs on the way down!
I like the look of the climb profiles since it appears the steepest segments are early on each individual climb. There are a rides here in Colorado that start off at 4% and continually get steeper to over 12%. By the time you get to the steep parts - you have been climbing for hours!
I am not sure how it is "Down Under" but in Colorado humidity is low and elevation high! Looks like your route topped off at 6,000 feet plus, which is pretty high if you are used to living at lower elevations.
Taking-on that Alpine Classic is a great accomplishment! Congratulations.
