[RC] 10K/5K member/horse miles updated--AMAZING!! - Karla Watson
Trilby Peterson. Ok you guys go look up her
record. You won't believe it. Check out 1986 when she rode 7700 miles in one
year. She did 7 days of 50 milers in a row, then the very next day went and
did Tevis and finished. Then did another 100 miler the next weekend. Now that is
just bloody amazing. Now lets just call her Superwoman! This was back before
riding tights, sheepskin and ibuprofen. Many times she did a 50 miler followed
by a 100 miler the next day, weekend after weekend after weekend, hardly any
pulls at all. 108 rides that year with 28 of them being 100 milers. 1989-64
rides no pulls. 1990-80 rides no pulls. 1991-65 rides no pulls. And that sort of
thing goes on for many years. I honestly don't think we have riders like this
anymore. If we do, then they deserve a big gold medal for being so tough and
having the most amazing endurance. My hats off to you Trilby. I've looked up
lots of records over the years. Yours is one of the most impressive.
