Definitely get some seat time fixed before your attempt for sure. Ive been riding fixed consistently for a month and there were still times when i felt a little uneasy. Also, if your century is very hilly at all, run both brakes. I overheated my rim on a steep downhill and popped my tube. Its hard to backpedal as well when your legs are worn out.
