Why was William at a disadvantage at the start of the Battle of Hastings in 1066?

Prior to the Battle, Harold had set up his defense on Senlac Hill which meant the Normans would be forced to fight an uphill battle.

Since this was a cavalry, the combination of the weight and uphill struggle would necessarily slow down their horses.
