If no one could do a non-stop century, then you might be justified in doing that. But since some people can do non-stop centuries, we should all record our total times.

If Rider A does a non-stop 5-hour century ... and Rider B does a 7-hour century with 5 hours of riding time because he needed those 2 hours off the bicycle in order to get through the distance ... it would be a bit rude (and untrue) of Rider B to tell everyone that he did a 5-hour century just like Rider A.
