Re: [RC] 100 Clinic at Liberty Run - Any Interest - Timothy WordenStagg, I for one would attend. Ever since doing my first 50 last year and finding out I really could do more than just LDs, I definitely see 100miles 1 day as doable. Lately RideCamp has been focusing on how to get people started and LDs being the popular training ground for that. There are quite a few mentors who are willing and available and I think people are doing pretty well getting started. Now we need to take it further and encourage those horse and rider teams to take it a step further. I've mentioned in recent posts that 100milers are my goal. Maybe with a clinic or two, you can inspire and encourage others to the same goal. I can't drop $3k+ on an instant 100mile horse, so I'm bringing a couple young horses into the sport over the next couple years. It's still going to be a year or two before I'll attempt my first 100 with them. Until they're ready, I'll be competing in 25-50mile training rides, and maybe a 75 as they become more available. Would Saturday be a possibility for this clinic? See you at Liberty Run. Tim --- Stagg_Newman@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: Kathy Ramspott wrote: That is my long term goal, to do a 100. The 25's will be just part of the time that has to go in to get there. So, at least you now know 1 SE rider that has the goal of a 100 once my horse is ready. Kathy, Glad to hear your interest in doing 100s! Wish you success to the goal and let me know if I can answer any questions. And to folks going to Liberty Run: My wife and I plan to go and bring a couple of our newer horses and perhaps my 20 year old. Would be willing to do a clinic on completing 100 milers if there is interest. Is there? Stagg ============================================================ Personally, I shouldn't give a s--- where the other people on the course are, and if I find myself starting to concern myself over this, I remind myself that this is the first step on the road to overriding my horse and tell myself to "knock it off!" :) ~ Kat Swigart ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
