Good luck with the training! If you’ve already done a marathon, you’ve already got what it takes to complete an endurance event. Good luck!

You’ll be absolutely fine! My husband trained for his first century ride this summer in two months. He’s in decent shape, but unlike you, he hadn’t just completed a marathon either
Definitely make sure you do enough hills training – that’s where it will get ya during the race!

Ahh you are CRAZYY, but you can totally do this

My friend’s mom just completed the 100 mile bike race in Arizona a month or so back and just loved the entire experience!! We cheered her on along the way and were actually surprised by how prepared she was for it! Pack lots of yummy peanut butter & banana sandwiches, that was her trick!!

Best of luck! You can do it! Biking through Napa will be difficult, but so worth it!

I never thought that I could do a 10K, but I completed one in November. I also didn’t think that my Japanese could ever get to the level it is now. It goes to show anyone that hard work will pay off, especially if it’s something that you truly love and want to do!

naw it’s cool! i dont mind questions.

in exchange for publicity, raising $3K and forming teams (i had four other people sign up today! YAY!), i get a flight out there. i cover expenses and lodging. thats just a special arrangement because i’m blogging/advertising for the charity. but that’s all i get (besides the awesome experience of fundraising and riding thru napa!)

Thanks for info-sounds totally a good investment for a charity to me.You two will bring great coverage to cause!
Do you get paid as well?(I am wondering how these charities work to be honest!)Thanks!

Echelon is sponsoring Jen and I to fly out, kind of like how Team in Training does.
