Beat the personal record by a 63 seconds...

I guess that hill work does have at least some kind of payoff.  I just went up a climb last night that I haven't done in a while.  It's a little more mild that some of the others and it didn't feel like I was motoring up there that quickly but a post-ride Strava upload gave me a nice personal record.  I still think going up long grinding hills is hardly fun and the best benefit is the calorie burn but it's nice to see some of that work pay off.
