Yea! I DID IT!!! It was a great ride and I had FUN! I'll get some pictures posted tomorrow when I figure out the camera I bought last night. LOL! The weather was wonderful, cloudy, slight breeze (5mph), and around 70. SAG support was wonderful and the rest stops were well stocked.

I rode the first 25 alone and started at 6:30am. I met up with a friend that skipped the first loop and wanted to do 75 today. She's a much more experienced rider than I am and rides a little faster but we found a good rhythm. Webber Canyon was challenging because I'm a hill weenie but we made it up! The decent into Prosser was FUN. I was struggling some but felt better after the rest stop. We had a nice tailwind back to Benton City and took a longish break. I was energized when we left there for the last 20 miles and we zipped right along. I think the endorphins must have kicked in because I was in great shape when we finished! I was glad to be done and starved but still felt great.

We averaged 15.3 which thrills me! Not bad for my first century. We only got passed a few times and it was by a fast local club so no big deal. Now I'm just going to hang out and go to sleep early.

Oh, I also met a fellow TE lady at one of the stops and got a pic. Very fun to put a face to a name. Only I forgot my screen name and told her the wrong one. LOL! I think I must have been a little tired.

WhoooHooooo!
