I did for a few years, so there's a bit of residual oomph despite being a few pounds heavier, cranks being a few mm shorter, and not getting any miles in. I think the best training was the year I spent working in Highgate - I used to go up Highgate Hill (not West), down Shepherd's Hill (where I worked) but then tag on a little loop of twice up Muswell Hill followed by Wood Vale, with fixed mtb, and panniers stuffed with books. Same extra loop on the way home.
Can't be arsed doing competitive stuff at the moment, but I still 'attack' most hills out of habit. Topographically or otherwise, I like getting high.
Would love a rematch, but I've just walked out of a 3hr anatomy exam an hour early due to having fuck all opportunity to revise whilst the council builders rip our home apart, and have got to do my entire acoustics revision by 10am tomorrow. What a fucking laugh. Can you tell I'm fucking stressed, or is it not that fucking obvious. Fuck knows.
