Well, I was gonna post this under the previous 50 miler thread, but I couldn't find it. I did my first half century last weekend and learned a bunch of lessons (i.e. carry cash with you, stay hydrated, and don't push too hard too fast). I was hurting at the end. Today, I set out again, this time on moderately rolling terrain with some gusty winds (last time was flat with no wind). Well, I stayed hydrated, ate right before hand, and pushed just the right amount at the right times. I finished 51.36 miles in two hours, fifty two minutes and eighteen seconds. That may seem like garbage to most of you guys with experience, but I'm pretty happy, especially since I'm still riding my hybrid bike for the time being.
Well, that's it. I just wanted to share with someone, and no one around here (in Indiana) would be able to understand how good I feel right now. :D :D :) :D :p
