wow. What a great report. Nanci, you are my hero!

I wonder why I felt so crappy at the end, yesterday. I'm sure I was trained enough. I never felt anywhere near that sore in a Century. Could it have just been battling the wind for so many hours?
It must have been all that wind. Wind can really sap energy, and be downright demoralizing. And to be in such a strong wind, for so long, well, heck! I'm so impressed with you.

Riding time- just under nine hours. 14 mph average speed.
That's great! I'd be lucky if I could do that under the best of conditions (assuming I could even make it up to 200K at the rate I'm going, grumble grumble whine )

I'm attending a randonneuring seminar this afternoon, if I pick up any useful training tips I'll pass them on.
