Just setting my goals for 2010 and came across this thread.

In my defence, it was my first year cycling and I started out at over 280lbs in April, so I hauled a lot of mass up and down those hills. And my front derailleur broke halfway through leaving me stuck in the middle ring. Ah well.
I'm doing it again in 2010, hope to finish towards the end of the pack instead of dead last this year.
