RE: [RC] re: 100 milers - Mcgann, Barbara

Cindy,

I did reply to you yesterday, but I was NOT the one who listed her
record.  Not sure who that was, as I delete the posts almost as soon as
they come in, but it wasn't me.  Compared to the 2 of you who were
trading records back and forth, mine would be insignificant (3800 miles
in 25 years, 0 100's (attempted Big Horn in 78 or 79?, pulled at 85
miles), 0 marathons, 0 half races - heck, I don't even like to walk
around the block - that's why I buy horses!)

Barbara McGann

Well, since I am now an arrogant ***** who you think is flaunting her
record, who hasn't helped put on a ride, and who hasn't mentored
numerous new riders, I concede the floor and allow you to win by insult
(Steph, you are NOT included in this...I appreciated your tact and
thoughtfulness even though we disagree).  I listed my record as a
tongue-in-cheek statement because Barbara McGann listed hers...Yes, it
does hurt very much that in a sport I have given so much to, and have
gotten so many life long rewards from, my convictions about the sport
are scorned, twisted and belittled. 
Even when I try to joke, it is turned back on me.  A dear friend just
emailed me and told me to quit hurting myself by trying to get people to
listen to what I am trying to convey about my belief in "endurance" as a
sport.  She is, of course, correct.  We have lost every single battle to
hold on to the integrity of "endurance" the founders of this sport
envisioned.  It will continue.  For those of you who listened and
thoughtfully agreed, or disagreed, you are appreciated.  Cindy
