I'm not a great climber, or a sprinter(all pride/ego aside), but I think of these as my favorite parts of riding. I work on hill, & sprint intervals on every ride. I use them as warm ups before my actual ride sometimes.
It takes work to succeed, hard work pays off. I've had to push even harder after my injury, I want to be better than I was before the injury.
You can settle for what you have, or strive to improve.
Its really your will to get better that is the key.
You can get all the info/tips you want, but you have to put them to use, & suffer to see the fruits of labor.

This is where one of the most common terms in the 41 fits the best... HTFU.
Take a page out of Jens Voigt playbook, tell you legs the shut up when you feel like your hitting the red zone.
"No pain, no gain!"

Keep an open mind, if you hate/dislike something, you often avoid it.
Learn to love what you hate.
