With a chest still a little dodgy from the Kingston Wheelers hill climb two weeks ago I tackled the 1200 yard Leith Hill climb promoted by London Dynamo CC. I managed to improve my position to 4th (from 7th) but whilst the course was a little longer than last time I did a slower time - 04:18 (last time 04:03).
This time I felt considerably worse suffering dizzy spells and cramping calves at the car park at the top of the hill. Jeez, when will I learn hill climbing is not for me :-(
Race stats:
Time: 04:08

Chris won today's (Oct 17th) London Dynamo hill climb up Leith Hill in a winning time of 04:04.
I managed to nick 2 mins of his time to talk about the hill climb, training and next years plans.
