Goodbye boom-er-ang hill, see you next year!

At the beginning of this season, I faced down the trippple hill with a little fear, and came away with a PR result that I haven't beaten since.

However, I have improved in a lot of ways on that hill.

1. The repeats have gone up - Last night, I rode 5 strong repeats, which is the most I have ever done ever. 
2. My consistency has gone up - The first time I did 4 repeats, the times sort of got faster (which is a good thing), but the time between slowest and fastest was ~45 seconds. Yesterday, for 5 repeats, I was able to keep the gap to ~10 seconds.
3. My pacing has gotten better - I have been trying to descend across the repeats. It's nowhere near as good as my swim-pacing, but, if I exclude the third loop, I descended super steadily for the other 4.

Next year, when we come back to the hills, I think I want to focus on being less scared of how bad it feels to really work hard. I know I am stronger than I was when I set my PR in April, but that repeat hurt! I probably won't be facing down 4 or 5 repeats in my training plan next year, so I should work on making them each hurt a little more.

I also want to continue to get more confident in my bike handling. Over this season, I think I have improved in my descending but I should be able to U-turn in a wide street or in a cul-de-sac without unclipping my inside foot, so I'll work on that next year.
