I remembered this morning riding to work that I forgot to mention one of my hill mantras. When snowboarding with my dad (he skis, and teaches skiing, so he's got a lot of ski-endurance) he always says "rest on the lift" or "rest at the bottom" so we keep riding the entire hill from top to bottom instead of resting in the middle. I turn that into "rest at the top" or "rest on the downhill" to keep myself pedaling up AND OVER the hill rather than feeling burnt in the middle of the hill. It also makes me think of snowboarding with my dad, which makes me happy.
