Bike hill repeats

Today's workout was hill repeats on the bike...since the sun has finally returned, we slept in this morning and "saved" the workout for late afternoon...I was psyched to get out in the sun again and Madrona provided the regular good healthy butt-kicking. I like that hill a lot, although it's a little tough to get to the top just to smell burgers at the Madrona Ale house and then do a U-turn back down the hill to climb it again...if that doesn't build mental toughness, what does?

Seujan got there after I did, so we were opposite on the ups/downs and yelled across the street to each other...still fun to kind of do hills together.

Each hill was .85 mile with 1.15 recovery (a little flat at the top then back down at the stop sign)
