I did my second organized century yesterday, the 109 mile Tour de Tucson. I didn't do as well as I wanted to, but better than most. There were 9K+ riders, and I finished in 7:36:59, or 2846th place. That got me a silver medal, but they give a lot of those away. I wanted to finish under 7 hours, but there was no shade and I simply roasted out there. Next year I'll do better. It's about a 2.5 hour improvement over my first Century last June around Lake Tahoe. That kicked my butt for no good reason - well, I also spent way to much time gabbing in rest stops at Tahoe.

I've also had 3 training rides this year that extended themselves to century length.
