Now that you're over that passing bit of silliness we can get back to the topic
It just sounds like you need to work on your overall fitness a little bit more. I'm a bigger guy, but my VO2 system is my best trained system, and thus I don't get dropped on anything save for truly epic climbs.
I'd give the 3-8 minute VO2 lovin' a shot for a few weeks. I think you'll be happy with what you see.
