Re: [RC] re: 100s discussion - Cindy CollinsBack to my "marathon" example, which everyone answering me chooses to ignore...I would NOT say "in the office" that I was a marathoner if I run 3 Ks. I might say I'm a short distance runner or jogger. Would I be honest to say I was a marathoner? Can you imagine? I don't care what the LD riders call themselves as long as it's not "endurance." What's wrong with limited distance horseback competitor...then, explain it to them. Most of us have to explain our relatively obscure sport, anyway. What no one will say explain to me is why there is this need to claim an honor one hasn't yet earned? And, when some of us question that habit...we are made out to be mean-spirited and arrogant. What's with that?! I can easily see the day coming when I will only be able to ride 25 miles. That's OK, too. But, I won't say I just rode an endurance ride. I'll say I had to give up endurance riding due to health and continue to support the AERC and my local rides by riding LDs.
