Well I finished my first Century. I still can't believe that I did it. I really wanted to chicken out and do just 62 but I met a nice friend (about 18 miles in) that really encouraged me to do it. It started out as a great ride. We were averaging 18 mph for the first 70 miles, when the conditions were perfect we were riding at a 22 mph pace witch is crazy fast for me. The last 30 miles were tuff though. My rear end hurt really bad and we had a head wind the entire last 30 miles. I wanted to cry during the last 10 miles because I was in so much pain. It is Sunday now and I am already forgetting how bad my backside hurt and think that I should do this again next year. I don't have many pictures. Gabe took some of me fixing my bike the night before, and i took a picture of my jersey (from the Little Red Riding Hood race) that I wore with my number on it. Also I thought the event logo was cute so I took a picture of it as well.

good for you friend! you are amazing.
Way to go Michelle!! You've done so great in your biking. It's amazing.
You animal!!! You inspire me! I really need to get into biking more. I did get my little mountain bike out today and followed my 4 year old around the driveway a few times. It's a start, right?
Where was this race anyway?
YOU ROCK!!!!
The race was just in Idaho Falls. I found out about it on a Wednesday (signed up that day) and did it on Saturday. not too much time to train or get nervous. Mostly my butt needed more training.
