    I did my first metric!

    Hello everyone!
    Saturday I completed my first metric century and I'm so pumped!
    It didn't start very well... DH and I were late and got a 15 minute delayed start so we were pretty much by ourselves for the first 10 miles. No problem with that really, except that the cycle gods decided to punish us with a heavy downpour at mile 5. We were soaked. Water was slushing in my shoes, I couldn't see, I'm sure you all know the feeling, but it was a first for me. At the first rest stop we found that it was a microburst - that no one else got it. People looked at us and asked how we got so wet.... they thought we were profuse perspirators I guess.

    It was a hilly course but beautiful.

    Just had to share my joy as no one here in the workplace understands.

    Congratulations!! Glad you had a great ride. Other than the rain I mean. Don't feel alone, that would be what would happen to me. I'd be the only one rained on.
