Congratulations! That's awesome! I want to build up to 100km marathon events (the standard in Australia) and am doing a 50km in March. How inspiring to read your story of doing nearly 130km. Woooheeee!
Keep ridin' and smilin'....

Been offline a bit, thank you for all the congratulations.
In response to recovery, I really didn't have any opportunity to workout until the Saturday after the race. I wasn't overly tired just busy with work during the week and wasn't motivated to go to the gym. I felt great over this weekend and rode two technical mountain bike rides and one 40 mile road ride.
One thing reflecting on marathon season (one more race in two weeks) I have learned is next year I will train more on my mountain bike. Most of my training for these long rides was on the road which was great for endurance, however spending 5-7 hours on the mountain bike is something different. Next year I plan to work on improving my times (I have won the state championship this year), I think being more in tune with how my body feels on the mountain bike that long will help. By the end of the EE my butt was killing me!! I was standing up just to relieve my tired tush. I know that happens on long rides but this was more than the norm.Amanda
