6th June - Bike

Hill reps on Ditchling Beacon, Sussex with 30 min warm-up and warm-down ride in from Haywards Heath.

10 reps (@ 1.44km, 135m ascent, average gradient 9.4%)
Total session time (up+down 1 hr 36:15)

Really wasn't looking forward to this session and it was a killer but I felt strong and did a PB by 14:42! Last did this session on 8th Nov 2008 where I averaged 8:16 per uphill lap. This time I did 7:11 per uphill lap, laps were more consistent and faster. Feel much happier about next weekend's hilly half-ironman course having done this session.

Splits for uphill reps:

7:09.4
7:05.3
7:04.3
