Good job. The century mark is a big step.
I'm contemplating whether I want to try a double next year or focus on helping my wife get ready for her first century. Both ideas have their merits but I think watching my wife finish a century will be more rewarding that proving to myself once again that I can shut down my rational mind and keep going just a little while longer.
Drink LOTS of water today and tomorrow and take a little light exercise tomorrow (a walk will suffice). Both will help flush the sludge out of your muscles. Some good clean protein and carbohydrates will help you recover too.

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
