I am curious as to what your training was like, too.
My record is about 72 miles and I have my first 100 coming up in august.
Relatively flat, with a few climbs. I just wore my Zoic shorts with lined chamois pad. Stock saddle on my Giant Roam 2. I suppose better (higher $$$) shorts would have helped. I just ordered these from Amazon in hopes they might help on longer rides in the future:

No real "training" so-to-speak. I just ride 2 or 3 times a week for about 30 to 50 miles at a time. I kept the power bars, Body Armor drinks and water plentiful.
