It's all about eating. Don't get behind on eating and you won't have any problems. You can go as fast as you want as long as you can keep up with nutrition. I have never worried about pacing.
Thanks. I pretty much figured this. But one of my cycling friends, who is a "nervous Nellie" before EVERY ride is already saying he does not know if he can follow the training plan to do this longer ride. This guy can DO a century at 150W average power but still worries too much. If he keeps it up, we are going to dis-invite him from the event.
