Whip, thanks. I read and read and read training books and so forth, but to hear actual examples from another woman really helps.

I am really encouraged that you are so fast now, and yet your first flat century was 8.5 hours. My first flat century was 8 hours, and I keep wondering if it could be possible to really, really improve.

I know we are all different, with different genetics, lifestyles, etc. But, your examples and personal improvements are very inspiring.
