did my hilly 40 today. I was hoping it would be easier than the first time I did it but it wasn't . Although, my HR recovery was much better and I don't feel trashed now that I'm finished like I did the first time. I did improve my average speed by .9 and noticed that I'm feeling a lot more in control so I'm pretty happy with that! It was 94 when I finished and I'm not really acclimated so it was tough, kept chugging water and sports drink and dousing myself.

Overall a good, tough ride!
