RE: [RC] Weight--Long - heidi

Very, very true, Bob.  And to give the reverse illustration, I KNOW I cannot win, currently, and I'm a heavyweight.  But I'm honest enough to know that it isn't the weight per se that keeps me from winning--it is my current lack of fitness and preparedness.

The one part of the equation that every one is forgetting is
"MENTAL ATTITUDE" I do not care what weight division you
claim for riding, if the proper mental attitude is not
present you will not be a winner. The difference between the
two noted successful riders, Becky Hart and Earl Baxter, and
the rest of the field is that Earl and Becky KNOW they can
win but the field only hopes they can win.

The mental makeup of the rider is the most important factor
in winning. Not weight, not nutrition, not weather but the
Rider.
