Three hill repeats of approximately seven minutes each in Zone 2 tonight (150-180W). It was a one mile stretch with three percent average grade, not much of a hill, but good practice and basically no traffic. Hit 200W when the grade went up to 5%, but I was in my lowest gear at the time, so no bailout. Forgot my chest strap (doh!) but my breathing and RPE were consistent with heart rate in the 160s. I see an 11-32 cassette in my future, at least until my FTP increases significantly.
