Hamilton is really 3 climbs with intermediate short descents. I tried to dose the effort evenly, middle to high zone 3 all the way.
Climb 1: 34:10, 144 HR, 3.26 W/kg
Climb 2: 18:03, 142 HR, 3.09 W/kg
Climb 3: 42:58, 140 HR, 3.06 W/kg
I've now done this ride 10 times this year, and it definitely is getting less fatiguing.

Climb 1: 33:14 (2.7% faster)
Climb 2: 17:41 (2.0% faster)
Climb 3: 45:41 (6.3% slower) <-- hot at the top (88ºF)
Riding in the heat when not heat acclimated -- another topic.
