You got it! Last year, the century sold out faster than we thought (3 weeks) and we got DH a ticket at the last minute. This year, the century sold out in less than 24 hours. As soon as I saw that, I registered for the 50 (which sold out in less than a week). Crazy! Had I had more time to think about it, I probably wouldn't have done it. But....
My current motivation is thinking about how many pounds I can *not* have to haul up hill by then. Hopefully.
The century is HARD. DH (who you may recall likes mountains) finished very near the bottom of the pack (with 10 minutes to spare). But, he only got his ticket 3 weeks before hand. I think the 50 is more than enough for me this year. I *might* try the century next year. Maybe.
Congrats to you!!! You're doing great!!
