[RC] to Laurie in Clare - Cindy Collins

Just FYI, Laurie.  I've completed 19 100s and I've never used anything but
keg shoes and rarely finish 50s these days faster than 7 hours.  I don't
use a heart monitor, I very lightly electrolyte, and had no special
diet...hay and beet pulp.  Just wanted you to know that you don't have to
do any of these fancy things unless you are planning to go for a win or
campaign at an international level.  Cindy

4.) Sucking the fun out factor: as long as I do slow (7 hour +) 50s as my
long distance, I can let a lot slide - heart rate monitors, precision
shoeing (as opposed to keg shoes on the front), aggressive electrolyting,
special diets.  I can do a slow 50 with a couple months of conditioning
rides and a trail.  To do a 100 seems more logistically daunting.
