PR'd up hamilton by 10 minutes again. 1 hour 34 min to the parking lot. Actually using your powermeter to pace yourself works! Who would have guessed?!

What is your descent time for the same distance?

I was pretty gassed, so I was talking it pretty easy on the climbs coming down.

I'm still trying to figure out shorter climbs though.

Riding them fixed for six months is a good way to learn.

I have to agree with Muffin Man tho, when you're preparing for a hard effort, don't go looking for pain. Just try to stay fresh and keep your cadence up. Doing the climb more than once will also be helpful because you know where you push harder and other areas where you can rest a bit.
I think power meters are handy because you start to learn how much power you can push for an extended period without blowing up. Then you start working to extend that. When you become more familiar with it, you can start breaking up a ride into chunks; hold 400w here, rest at 200w for the next five minutes, etc.
I've just been doing power in zwift with my smart trainer and it's been a great help. Now I'm thinking a power meter on the bike would be helpful. I don't really care about racing or anything, but I like to geek out on the numbers, and ultimately ride faster and more efficiently.

Ok, I retract my suggestion.
Was thinking 1/2 mile at 4 or 6% LOL.
