Re: [RC] Lactic Acid - Sisu West Ranch"...And, Ed, that far back we didn't have biochemistry. Back then, they called it "alchemy..." The bad part was that we only had 4 elements (Earth, air, fire, and water). The wooden magnets and beakers were also a problem. The good part was we were allowed one poisonous chemical a week, and two persistanc carcenogens per quarter. Ed PS. While I'm sure that TI's postulates have merit, I see them having much more applicability to a Kentucky Derby (a couple of minutes) than the Owyhee 100 (a number of hours). As far as the rest of us (8 hour or so 50's) I doubt that glucose loading will change things much at all. I have found that my endurance horses seem to be more limited by hydration (metabolics) during a given ride and joint, ligament, and tendon problems (the pounding associated with speed) in the long term. From the number of fast FEI horses that I have seen retired early I suspectthat pounding (speed) is the real long term (10 or more years of competition) endurance horse limitation.
