i did 80 miles today on the east side of the sandias

including heartbreak hill for the first time

from where the san pedro sign is (at the point where the climb starts) it took me 8min to get up at about 4.5 mph

how slow is that?

Making it to 4.5 mph or any speed on a challenging hill is great in my book. If you walked for a bit and still made it to the top that too would be good.

I claim victory every time a hill fails to discourage me.
