Thanks for the update!! I've gotten a couple of 50 milers out of my knee now so I guess I'll have to try a real 100 miles this fall ( I did manage a 100K on a flat course this spring) I've read all your "hint" and all the wonderfull suggestions - now I will have to put them into practice. What an inspiration!
Hey - does it matter how fast you go or do you just have to finish in 24 hours to claim a "century"?
