Re: [RC] re: direction of WEC - Diane TrefethenIf instead of a one-day 100 miler there were three, consecutive 75 mile rides or 100 km rides, that would put more emphasis on "endurance" since you would have to be able to vet in each morning for that day's ride. True, the third day might be Truman's "Katie bar the door" race, but after going either 150 miles or 125 miles, none of the horses would be quite as willing to move out at an average of 13-15 mph. Further, there would be a substantial shift in attitude. It's one thing to go out for a one day race, over ride your horse and say oh well, them's the breaks, I tried. It is quite another to INVEST the effort to go 125 miles and THEN blow it by racing on the third day. You would no way look like a hero. You'd look like a complete fool!=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
