thanks for the kind words and smiles!

Yeah, I'm in Arizona. I started in Phoenix and went through Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, and Queen Creek :-D. As for food, I had cliff bars and Probars in a pack on my back along with calcium and electrolyte supplements and my electrolyte drink mixes.

trek, by all means go for it! My first century was done in a similar spirit, though I don't recommend this kind of timing to most people. I worked a typical 8 hour day, and during lunch stocked up on goodies. then after work, I proceeded to rack up 100 miles through the city complex before getting home and in bed at a late 2am (I had to leave for work at 7am the next day!). Still, those are fun, you can set the pace with no worries except whatever max time you set for yourself that you want to be out.

Geonz, don't know too much about wattage yet, but fun stuff! anyway! how was that kind of time trial set up?
