Welcome to the forum.
As Steve says, this sport can be a marathon or a sprint. If it catches a hold of you, it's best to treat it as a marathon. Slow incremental improvement is the way to go. Enjoy the journey as well as the destination.

Thanks Ray.
It would appear that you're a marathon candidate for our sport.
There are plenty of threads here extolling the virtues and importance of nutrition, eating sufficiently and taking on adequate liquid, for the longer spins.
