The more I think about it, the more I think it would easier to race faster on that course with more like 160 or 165mm. I could've spent more time in high gear then too. As it was I was psyched I still had power the second lap to ride any of it in second gear!

I'm guessing that the clipless pedals are as much or more of an advantage on uphills than 165 vs 150 cranks.

That's certainly possible. I don't know how much difference they make, but a fair amount I'd guess. Still, I am not really that tempted to try them!
