[RC] 100 milers - Budler,Cindy - AfroxSomeone might have already said this(haven't finished reading all the digests yet), but the reason I love 100 milers is the speed. I have accepted that my goal in endurance is completion- I just cannot push any horse I ride to complete a 50 miler in the speeds required to win, especially out here where winning speeds are all in excess of 25km/h. I just am too chicken, too conservative and too damn scared of what those speeds might do to my horse! So, where can I be competitive? In 100 milers!! Have myself and my horse fitter than most others, really work harder and understand more about metabolics, nutrition, and the management and pacing of my horse and put it to the ultimate test. 100 milers are more difficult- this is where all the management really shows , but luck is a s ever always a big factor. I have only done a few 100 milers on my previous horse, but NOTHING has ever and will ever eclipse that feeling of completing a 100 miles on a horse that is sound and happy and still spooking at the finish line!! And a bonus is that really back of pack "slow" speed that gets you nowhere in a 50 miler can , with a bit of luck and tactics , put you in top 10 for a 100 miler!
