I can also post my first Century from the Colorado MS150 this past weekend. Being 6'6" and 235 pounds can sometimes be a challenge as you all know. But honestly, I finished the first day of 104 miles and felt great, only spending 4:44 in Zone 5. Total time was 6:20:15. On all of the climbs I stayed below Zone 4 and then hammered on the way down. Interestingly enough on all of the climbs by the time I got 2/3 up the climb, I started passing people who "charged" going up the hill. There's a lot to be said for riding base miles. On the second day I put in 80 miles and haven't been sore or tired yet.

Even though we're 'clydes we have some advantages, such as carrying speed on flats and descents approaching 60mph!

Have fun on your next century, I know I will!
