Re: [RC] 100 mile advice... - heidiIn a message dated 5/23/2004 6:44:59 AM Central Daylight Time, laurieunderwood@xxxxxxxxxxx writes: Dear Lord, and I thought 100 was a long way! 150? Holy smokes, Merryben. You folks were crazy! lol Not me, I just crewed. I know they were pretty bored doing the same loops over and over.......mb Here in the NW we had two 150s for awhile, and even a 200! :-) I remember Hanna Hollander on one of them one year, going out really fast for 75 miles--thought she had lost her marbles, but she had a three-hour lead on the next horse, and when she got into camp at 75, she untacked her horse and crawled into the shade and took a nap during the heat of the day. Horse got a GOOD rest, and she had her crew wake her up when the 2nd horse came into camp to start his hour hold. She quickly tacked back up and took off, and after that 3-hour break, was able to take back off with still an hour's lead, and do the last 75 almost as rapidly as she did the first 75...
