So I managed to claw my way up to the top in 26:58. Not great, but better than I was expecting. It's clear that five days in the mile-high altitude in Albuquerque didn't make me into a super-climber (Possibly because of the stuffed sopaipillas and burritos I gorged myself on...). It was a little embarrassing how many times I was passed by other riders... when did that start to happen? Halfway up I noticed a salamander that had been flattened on the road, and I instantly related. When I reached the top, my glasses were fogged over, so I couldn't really see my time, but I figured I could just check it on my Garmin when I got home. Time for one more climb up OLH, this time at an easy pace. It's hard to believe that there is only three minutes between this:
and this:
The good news is that I only have to take 35 seconds off each month to break 20 minutes.
