Today was the Henry Coe Hill Climb race, part of the Winter Series with the San Jose Bicycle Club. I ended up taking first place with the CAT 4 racers and 3rd overall after factoring in the handicap. My time was 37:34, averaging 10.8 mph. My heart rate averaged 169 with a maximum of 176.
This chart shows the climb. Since it is plotted against time instead of distance, the elevation profile should look linear if I am climbing at a constant number of feet per minute. Click to enlarge.

I did much better than I expected. Usually Doug R. climbs faster than I do but I was able to beat both him, Joe F. up the hill. Joseph M. was slightly faster than I was but he was racing CAT 3.
