Tried my first century today, but failed I need help!!
I tried the NYC century this morning hoping to gte to the 100 mile marker, but it just did not work out.The event had a 75 mile spot so i did that instead. My legs felt great from the beginning till the end, like they never tired. My only problem which was pretty big was that my shoulders were killing me. Everytime i turned my next to see who was behind me killed, I couldn't look down even without bad pain. I tried stretching which helper for a little while but it just came back. The pain was kind of between my shoulder blades and in the back of my neck and upper back area.How do i train this are so that i canride a century pain free? I also did not train right for this event as my longest road ride was only 30 miles. If you guys can give me any advice that would be great.
