NoRacer, sounds like you have some potential if you're able to go faster than others up the hills. Next time, just try to see how lazy you can be (i.e. what's the LEAST you can do to stay in the top 3rd of the field). Once you're able to do that without any difficulty then you might try making a move on the hill--with the idea being to put some separation between you and the field rather than simply moving to the front to pull everyone.
