doesn't matter you stopped what is important is that you worked your C.V. system it will improve, I smoke (to much) I actually worked quite hard today even though it was flat (bloodt wind @Mo1959 yea i know, but try doing 18+mph into a nor nor east breeze) but on my ride last Tuesday where I did do some hills, not the same climb rate you did, my avg HR was 137bpm max of 162bpm, that was 2,992 ft over 52 miles, today 830ft over 37.7 miles my avg was 145bpm and a max of 166, and literally no climbing as such, but I had to work into the said wind on most of the ride even when I should have had a tail wind. but the more you do the better your body will become, because this is where cycling is so good as exercise, your lung capacity will increase your heart will become stronger so the transfer of oxygen becomes better and more efficient at getting around, please ignore the previous if you already know it.
( and some hair pulling getting it set up) does have a the odd speed spike, I was trying to find it but I can't see it on strava, anyway there has been at least one.
