Re: [RC] Heat & humidity - sharp penny

 This is exactly why I also try to ride in the hottest
part of the day. Rides are going strong here this time of
the year in Texas. Went to the Unicorn Hunt ride a couple
of weeks back. All week prior we were having temps in the
100's and even with the 4am start I was drippin' sweat. Was
the first time I had ever sponged Reno before the ride in
the dark! There is another ride this comimg weekend in
Houston. You ain't ridden in heat and humidity 'til you've
ridden there in the summer!!! My training partner calls
this ride the  "IV fluids ride"...lol. Unfortunatly work
demands that I can't go to this one but I know alot who
will be there. As Joe say's if your gonna be running in it
you best be training in it ;)

Regards,
Penny



Well, I guess I'm the "oddball" in this too.  When I
lived in the SE I
always did some of my conditioning in the afternoons in
the hottest
part of the day.  My reason being, I never want to ask my
horse to do
anything in competition that he hasn't done in training
-- if he's
going to compete in the heat of the day, he needs
conditioning in the
heat of the day, to build up the ability to handle it.
