Did my first Metric Century yesterday in Southern MN. Started out a little chilly, but warmed up to mid 60s. Mix of gravel and country roads. By about mile 50, I was feeling it and wanted to be done, but completed the mission. My goal was sub 4 hours, so I barely missed it but still extremely proud and extremely sore!

Do this more to build endurance! So many people quit when they feel like they are struggling, but you only get better by pushing further.

Congrats!
