Lots of great advice. Just have to remember to follow it all.
Regarding form, little aches and pains remind me to stretch and move about on the handlebars. Pedaling form is important, and it's easy to slip into mashing. I get over that by remembering to pedal only by lifting for a while, and "pedaling like there are eggs on the pedals"
All of my metrics (3) have been at 18+ so if I back it down to 16 or so I think I'll be ok. I try to ride between 100 and 120 mi a week at 40 mile pops. I think eating a good pasta meal sat night is important. As one poster mentioned, it is fla, so no hills, only over passes and bridges.
Thanks again for all the ideas and encouragement. I'm really psyched. I hope the weather cooperates. I don't think I would much enjoy my first century in a windy cold rain.
