What sort of time is respectable for a 100 mile sportive?
I'm doing a local sportive in 10 days time (my first), but have not decided whether to do the 50 or 100 mile route. I know I can do 50 no problem and although I've never done 100 I'm confident I can do it. I'm 52 and - as an ex- 3 hour marathon runner - as fit as I've ever been.
Over this sort of distance, I'm aiming to just go out and enjoy the day and cover the distance (and not be chasing people for the hell of it, like I might on a 50 miler), but what sort of time for 100 miles (hilly route) is a respectable one to aim for? Or indeed, should I even bother about time... just aim to finish?
Thanks.
