I really like that event, but I had a hard time between the winery and the next stop . I don't think I got the food part right, and probably didn't eat enough in the week before. I finished though, I got my second wind after the next to last rest stop. I had a harder time keeping up with my husband than usual, and felt a little frustrated at all the people passing me, frustrated with myself. I had told my husband that if it was longer than actual 100 I was going to stop at 100 and lay down in the middle of the road! But at that point the surface was that black tarry chip-seal stuff, so I soldiered on.I liked the party the night before at New Holland Brewery, and the kids from Hope College did a very nice job with the snacks and cheering. The cheering part is what I have missed from my running days. In a lot of ways I think a century ride is harder than a marathon. We did one the week before also, and I think last year's Holland hundred was cooler. That might have had an effect on me, the heat that is. I drank about a gallon during the ride.
