Re: [RC] man vs. horse - heidithis year's boston marathon was held on april 19th, in record setting heat for the area, 85 degrees. in spite of that, the winning times for the 26.2 mile course were 2:10:57 for the men's division and 2:24:37 for the women's division. a very large number of competitors did not finish due to the heat. now, go back and look at those times again. thats movin on! And now ask them to keep up that pace for 4 times the distance... The cream of the endurance crop can and does do 100s in under 8:40--sometimes WELL under 8:40! Heidi ============================================================ At the end of the day maybe the definition of endurance isn't the length of the ride but rather the spirit in which it is ridden. ~ Maryanne Stroud Gabani ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
