Century cut in half by broken BB spindle

After 48 miles of the Wright Stuff Century on Sunday my bottom bracket spindle snapped. This was on my 2005 R550 Scattante, with only 1,200 miles. I was lucky that it snapped only 4 miles out of the second food station. Riding with one leg is not much fun but beats sitting on the road waiting for a ride. Got a replacement on Monday and installed it last night, so I'm back on the road. I'll call Performance about the broken BB and warranty today.
