Even though some consider an LD to be

That's a point that keeps being missed for some reason.
I have done relatively rapid LD's on
50 mile endurance horses for a variety of reasons.
I've done the same from time to time. I've even done 25 mile CTR's on
a 100 mile endurance horse. I've done two 1:50 25 milers. Does it make
it any better that was they the split time for 25 miles on a 50 mile
ride?
And my worst sin might be I did a 50 mile ride on a Thursday and an LD
on the same horse on a Saturday and horror of all horrors won the LD BC
on Saturday!
I guess that puts me somewhere lower than whale snot on the bottom of
the sea.
