+1. The mind is oddly flexible in this regard. Soon you will only remember the accomplishment, and the prodigious speed, and the highlights like the time a pair of goldfinches was flying along side you or something like that. The pain is soon forgotten, and you'll want to do it again.
When I plan a tour, I always figure on 100 miles per day. When I actually tour, I think, what the ^&* was I thinking?
