Ouch!

After spending 9 hours in a meeting today, I left before it was over so I could get an interval workout in. It was really hard to get motivated since I was pretty brain dead. Soon after I started riding, it sleeted for a few minutes but didn't last long. After getting warmed up, I didn't feel too bad and started up Rossmere Street. This is a street that there's no such thing as riding it easy. It goes straight up and hurts no matter how fit I am. I think it's about 6 minutes to the top and I was only doing 4 minute intervals so I just turned around and went back down and spun for a few minutes before heading back up. I was really hurting the last time up although I still made it the same distance up the hill. I got in 1700 feet of climbing in just over an hour of riding. I hate this kind of workout but it's the best way to get faster.
