There is about an 315 yard stretch that is an uphill bitch starting around 475 yards to go and ending 160 yards from the finish.
Plus for the first 1285 yards or so you are on an uphill that gains about a foot per 100 yards.

This is not a downhill mile in fact only about 9% of the race is downhill.
