Re: [RC] taking the plunge...or not - Jim HollandPenny... Go fer it! Ibuprofen and Gin and Tonic! <grin> (Just stay away from those Margaritas..remember what happened at Biltmore! ROFL!) Reno can do it! You gave me all this crap about a 50, too! You can do it! Just ride Vet Check to Vet Check. Wish I could be there to see your finish! <sigh> Regards, Jim sharp penny wrote: I'm thinking about taking the plunge and trying a 100 next month. Ran into a friend this past weekend out on the trail, she and her friend will be doing their first attempt at a 100 and invited me to join them. Now I've been mulling it over the past 2 days. The trail is good for trying my first 100 on...it's a trail close to home that I ocassionally train on and did my first 50 on last year. I think Reno can do a slow 100 but am wondering about me. I still get very sore after a 50 and was wondering if I should wait to move up 'til I felt like I could ride more miles after a 50. (Jim dancing around after we completed Biltmore while I was in agony and just trying not to puke comes to mind...lol ) I have been feeling better after a fifty then I used to but, am still wiped and more than ready to stop. Part of me really wants to try the 100; then there is that little nagging thought in the back of my head saying it's waaay too soon to move up to 100's as Ive only done 4 50's in my entire endurance career (of a whole year..lol). Should I just stick with 50's for awhile or go for it? Also, I noticed alot of you take joint supplements. I went to Wally World to get some and am now very confused as to what to get. What do ya'll recomend and how much/day? I am aleady taking Vit E. Besides Aleve or Advil, do ya'll take anything to help your body during the ride? Thanks in advance for any pearls of wisdom you cast my way! Penny __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
