Today, I did my first 100 km cycling event in years.

In early March 2018, I did a 300 km cycling event with Rowan (my husband) … a couple weeks later, he had the accident that changed our lives.

In 8 years, I haven't done a cycling event longer than 75 km.

This is my second 100 km in the last few weeks (the first one was just a casual attempt to see if I could do it, not an event).

I am thrilled I can do them again, and at my age, but I am struggling with the last 15 km or so. I suspect I'm not eating enough. And I suspect I need to do 120+ km so that 100 km feels easier.
