The Hills

I kind of feel like last year I slacked off a bit on hill training. So this year I've been trying to fit it in a bit more. I got an iPhone last year and around December I gave Strava a try. I've never had GPS, so it is cool to see what effect the terrain have on you — you select a point on the GPS route and you can see how fast you were going and all the elevation.

So I am a data nerd and I have been geeking out on the Strava. Now if I only had a power meter too. I would be found in two places only, on my bike and in the computer chair!
