STP - done!
Total of around 205mi, done in 11:32. Averaged 17.5MPH. My left knee hurts like hell today, I'm pretty sure it's just from overuse, but otherwise I'm feeling fine - going to take the first few days this week off, focus on some DC work that needs to be done, and then hopefully start next week on running to get into shape for marathon season. More on that soon - picked up some great nutrition/fitness combo books on how to find out your optimal race weight and am going to digest those.
Kept it classy too, IMO.

Wow! That's an awesome achievement, I was reading up on it since I had no idea what STP was and I noticed a stat that only about 15% finish it in one day.
Congrats!

“The greater the suffering, the greater the pleasure. That is nature’s payback to riders for the homage they pay her by suffering. Velvet pillows, safari parks, sunglasses; people have become woolly mice. They still have bodies that can walk for five days and four nights through a desert of snow, without food, but they accept praise for having taken a one-hour bicycle ride. ‘Good for you’. Instead of expressing their gratitude for the rain by getting wet, people walk around with umbrellas. Nature is an old lady with few friends these days, and those who wish to make use of her charms, she rewards passionately.â€
