+1 to what Patrick said. Attitude and Friends can make all the difference on a tough day. Of course long descents after a tough climb, with lunch in an airconditioned resturant do not hurt either. I had something similar happen while trying to ride up Haleakala on Maui -after 6500 ft of climbing I realized that while I could probably finish (10,000ft) it was going to be a death march so I took heart in what I had been able to do and like you enjoyed a nice lunch in a cool place.
Chapeau! While your hamstring issue is probably heat related you might want to lower your seat a small amount to see if that helps. Strain in the hamstring is often a sign that the seat is set too high.
