Did my first Metric Century yesterday in Southern MN. Started out a little chilly, but warmed up to mid 60s. Mix of gravel and country roads. By about mile 50, I was feeling it and wanted to be done, but completed the mission. My goal was sub 4 hours, so I barely missed it but still extremely proud and extremely sore!

Well you appear to have gone about 1.2 km extra, so there’s that :)

True! We’ll just assume that extra 1.2km took another 9 minutes!

Do this more to build endurance! So many people quit when they feel like they are struggling, but you only get better by pushing further.

Congrats!
