Today I took part in my first hill climb up Harris End Fell (Lancashire). Sat at the bottom looking up I thought I was going to be sick. Just over 5 minutes later I was at the top (somehow I thought the top was further so continued cycling past the finish flag), a glorious view was to be seen at the top, sunshine, blue skies & lungs that felt relief at not having to continue uphill. Turns out I was fastest female & came 10th overall (out of 16, but still managed to beat some guys). This time last year I would never have dreamt about doing something so ridiculous.
