As you race, it matters only how you behave on the hills. Downhill--did you resist brashness, exhibit more control and discipline here than on the straight-aways. Ignore your impulse and shorten your strides. Uphill--did you clench your jaw, look down once and then lift your gaze to stare directly in to its eyes. Races are won here and not there--where it's hardest to speed up, not where it's easiest.
