Re: [RC] Let's talk endurance goals for '06 - Joe LongOn Mon, 5 Dec 2005 14:17:15 -0500, "Laura Hayes" <mark@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: ... That's the plan----what is yours???? This list is a "buffet" list -- I won't be able to attempt them all, some are mutually exclusive. 1. Ride more 100's. Secondary goal, finish 1st Place and Best Condition on a 100. 2. Ride the Tevis (despite over 12,000 miles in 30 states this is a ride I've never entered). Secondary goal, Top Ten the Tevis. Tertiary goal, win the Tevis Cup and Haggin Cup. 3. Ride the Cavalry Division of the Old Dominion 100. Secondary goal, WIN the Cavalry Division of the Old Dominion 100. 4. Ride the AERC National 100-mile Championship. Secondary goal: 1st Place Overall and Best Condition at the AERC National 100-mile Championship. 5. Win the Mountain Region points Championship and BC Championship. 6. Win the National 100 Mile Award. 7. Win the National Best Condition Championship. OK, a bit ambitious? You bet, I didn't even do all of those in one year with Kahlil. But "A man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a Heaven for?" These are the things I would LIKE to accomplish this year, and I hope to give it my best. Actually, what is most likely to prevent me is the cost, I'm "land-poor" now due to a high mortgage payment. Oh, two more that are endurance-related but not equine-related: A. Complete the Pikes Peak Marathon. (At least I'll be in a "Senior" division, my 63rd birthday is coming up Dec. 9th.) B. Bag another "fourteener" (climb another mountain over 14,000 feet high). Luckily, these are cheap. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxx http://www.rnbw.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
