Hi,
I'm new to tri and i found out quick on my first triathlon that I can't hill climb worth crap. I'm in kits beach and I would like to find some riding buddy's to work on hill climbing and over all biking. In my first tri I was around 35;XX for a 20km ride but I'm sure ill get better with some time in the saddle. any group meet-ups or anything like that ever happen around kits?

Nice to meet you guy/girls and thanks for any help. Hope to see you out at some races :-)

Here's a hill climbing workout I do regularly. https://www.strava.com/activities/277494236 It's right near you.

I do MOAs and a longer interval https://www.strava.com/segments/3806182?filter=overall to practice time trialing on hills.

I’m terrified of biking hills and the triathlon I am registered for has several hills…on AND off road!! I’m willing to do whatever it takes to finish this triathlon. Any guidance?
