Eastern hillclimb report.
Worked out really well. I managed to keep the pace under control from the start (held it at 19km/h) and slowly wound it up to 22km/h over the line which ended up a PB by a whole bloody minute.
I've always struggled in the last 2 K's on this hill but keeping the start speed down made a massive difference near the end. I'm usually going over the line at 15-16 km/h.
Just got to drop some more weight and I'll be flying up it. I've had a goal for this hill for a couple of years of sub 20 mins and todays 20:30? (haven't seen the official times yet, just the Cateye) has got me pretty close.
Thanks fellas... felt the pain and just kept going
