NCC Williamsburg-Chesterfield (rt143) Hill Climb

Happy with the effort but frustrated with my pacing and tactics again. I have no sense of sustainable effort on a bike, especially when the terrain is undulating. I also seem to have a serious problem with transitioning (maintaining speed) when going from downhill to uphill. I do much, much better on the steady uphill sections. Today the group of 4 others that I was with dropped me when it went from a downhill to uphill. I pulled too hard on the downhill then my quads had nothing when it went up. I lost 50m in about a quarter mile and I lost the draft for the next flat. I got back to within 5m on the last climb but couldn't close the gap. Oh well, another learning experience.
