I would say that my current PR was produced by a combination of indeed being in better shape then - but also having
lucked out in starting up it at a pace where I actually could sustain stability speed movement all the way to the top.
My basic thought is how do I pace myself to ride say 5-10% faster than that, or at least to turn out the best ascent I can with tomorrow's level of training?
