Good advice, Seattle Forrest. I'll have a decent time target at least on the easy/short side. My quickest is 25 seconds while the KOM is 14 seconds. I'm 920ish out of ~9000ish, though I'm usually not in that high a percentile unless going on downhill twisties...I just pushed this hill really hard a few times. The longer side is around 3 mins. If I keep doing intervals the right way on that side and the long side...one or both, I should be able to discern an improvement over time. So far, I have not been able to break 25 seconds without risking (what I feel) is an impending heart attack. Let's see how I feel after 2-3 months of this. Thanks again.
