[RC] 100s-again - Ed Kilpatrick

i have only done one 100 miler, in december 2004.   it was everything it is cracked up to be, thats for sure! i hope to do many more. the physical preparation is essential, but so is the mental preparation.   i dont want to oversimplify this, but it was easy for me.   i just thought, it is my horse and me.  we will just keep going until we are done. 
 
i cant think of any good reason to water it down, sugar coat it, or make it simpler.   it is you and your horse.   that is what this endurance game is supposed to be, you and your horse.  my wife tells me i just dont have sense enough to be afraid of trying anything.  maybe she is right, but sometimes, maybe it is better if you dont think too hard.  if you do, you might just talk yourself out of doing something great.     cowboy ed
