RE: [RC] [RC] Limiting factors - Nikki McCormackWow. You hit the nail on the head Heidi. My weight may be an advantage for my horse, but, even without pain issues, I have serious issues with caloric reserves and hydration. I think any extreme, be it a very small person or a very large person, is going to have some different issues to deal with. Even people who don't fall into the extremes frequently have some challenge or another to overcome. The lucky ones are probably middleweights with no health issues and lots of time to condition. :)Nikki From: heidi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: Karen Standefer <kstandefer@xxxxxxxx> CC: 'Nikki McCormack' <neyska@xxxxxxxxxxx>, ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [RC] Limiting factors Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2006 14:11:23 -0700 And seriously, the FIT HW who doesn't need to lose weight (and probably shouldn't!) often has a considerable advantage over smaller people simply due to their own athletic prowess.? I've seen some light FWs really struggle wtih a lot of issues in this sport--staying hydrated, having enough caloric reserves, etc.? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
