The hill (Mt Cootha) welcomes me back

Wednesday AM Session


This morning was my return to the old foe. A return that was inevitable and in the long run is a required!



The session was 5 'up and backs' of the Channel 10 side.
Session Reflections:
  • It was wet and humid
  • The back was really good throughout the session.
  • The legs were very much feeling it by the 4th and 5th ascent, but I put my mind to overcoming the negativity and completed the session in good mind.
  • Great to see all the other BTS IM athletes out there...inspirational stuff.
  • The first half (up to about the 1.0k mark) of the ascent was a reasonably good, but it was the second half of the acent that was really character building.
  • Throughout the ride (ascents) tried to stay up on the arm rests or gripped the bull horns near the arm rests. The TT bike really isn't a good hill climbing option but there isn't any other option...
