Wow! You did 150 miles @ 10 avg on a hybrid bike you only had for a couple of months? Pat yerself on the back, excellent new rider, you should be proud of yourself!
You mention that other people told you it wasn't the best bike for the job. How do YOU feel about it? What were your likes and dislikes about the ride? What was uncomfortable and what didn't hurt at all? Where would you like this bike to take you? Is it a possibility of more speed that you want? Different handling? A different position?
Pah! I say to those that even well-meaningly criticize a ride....any ride! Ah, but perhaps it wasn't so much criticism as it was awe. You may have a 'slower' geometry, but it sounds like you did just fine amongst many seasoned riders.

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
