Re: [RC] Unsolicited advice(was Judgement call) - Mike Lewis

Oh, but it is SO MUCH FUN to race!!  Slowing down is HARD WORK!!!

I can slow down to give this horse the chance to get in shape, but this
pony is a little Corvette and needs a chance to perform to her abilities
when she is physically ready.  I want her to last a long time, but I want
to have a successful racing career with her too.  Some folks'll go blow
out a horse in one or two seasons... I don't want to do that, and hope
that is not what it takes these days to win endurance races.

THAT is a whole other issue...

  oh, and back on the subject.  mike, you figured it out.   let this
horse rest,  get her in condition,   then slow down.  could i take a
wild guess at your ride time?  you might be ready to "race", but she
isnt.   heck, there's nothing wrong with taking 5 hours to do a 25
miler.   it's springtime,you might get to hear the birds singing,
instead of the wind whistling in your ears.      :-)        cowboy ed
