Participated in my first century run today. Relatively flat ride, finished in 6 1/2 hours. I felt really good for the first 60 miles averaged 17 -19 mph. 60 - 80 slowed 15 mph. Last 20 miles was painful at 12 mph. I was really feeling in the legs the last 20 miles, but I pulled through.

I had an absolute blast and can't wait for the next one. All in all great day.

good for you, did my first in january then another in february, It really gives you strength down the road too I think

Awesome........that is a good time as well.

Congrats

congrats!

Let's get some more details, how many breaks did you take? Hydration? Food? Temp?

Congrats! That's quite an achievement!

Century 'run'?

niiiiiiice!

congrats. feels good doesn't it? i can't understand why people say it is just a number.

Sorry, Century "ride"

It's more than just a number. There's such a sense of accomplishment with this, both physical and mental.

I have to be more clear......

Total ride time was 6.5 hours
Total time with breaks was 7.5 hours

I had a total of 5 rest stops.
Hydration was good, had (1) bottle water/hour on average
The rest stops were stocked with plenty of nutrition. I a couple of bananas, 3-4 protein bars and some almonds throughout the day.

The temp was not bad 75 - 80 all day. slight wind

I was worried about how I would feel the next day, surprised that I feel pretty good. Not real sore at all.

Picture of the route. Started at Griffith Park, down to Long Beach, over to Seal Beach then back to Griffith Park.

I assume this was not solo, how big was it?
