Re: [RC] FEI and 100 mile competitions - rides2far@xxxxxxxxPurhaps we need to bring back the elevator concept for those folks scared of the 100.? Alot of people may move up from a 75 to 100 and enjoy it then want to do more 100's.? I am sure this is a legistical nightmare for ride managers which is why it is >>>not done.? Jennifer Trust me on this one. If you want to do a 100, enter a 100. Your body has a little guage it sets the adrenaline pump according to. If you say you're starting a 75 your body will shut down at 75. I've never done a 50 that I felt like I could do another 25 at the end of...and I've never done a 100 where my body quit at the 50 mile mark...or 75... Maybe you can just tell yourself, "I'm entering a 100 but I can always stop" and you'll feel better. I lie in bed the night before a 100 and think, "Why worry, the vet will probably pull me at 25" With that mindset all day I practically anticipate being pulled so of course the vets don't cooperate and I get to keep going but there's always that glimmer of hope that you'll get pulled! :-) Angie ________________________________________________________________ Get your name as your email address.
