From 39.7 km to 44.1 km

4.5 km · -4.7% average · 44.1 km/h · 104 bpm, peaking at 121

Near Gatabo in the last third you came down the descent at 44 km/h on a 5% slope, which is the speed that gradient alone will give you.

Kinyovu came late enough in the ride that your heart rate there would have drifted higher anyway, so what looks like a climb effort was really just steady climbing on tired legs.
