Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

I gotta throw in a plug for the whole darn collections of essays - in Angie's book [of which I know the article in question is part].

 

I thought I would have read a large % of the book already by the # of articles that have been published elsewhere. Boy was I wrong - there is a TON of new material in there, and a lot of loud belly laughs! Speaking of pee - you'll pee your pants reading the whole book - if you have a sense of humor! I think my favorite is the fartlek training one though - esp turning the barn into a fun house!!!

Subject: [RC] I've got hate mail

I had to reread Angie’s article to see if I could interpret it the way it was taken by the author of the “hate mail” and Spottedracer and the students at TSU.  Nope, didn’t work. To begin with it is preceded by “on the lighter side” (hint, hint)  Everything about it is tongue-in-cheek.  I used to be an insulated saddle bag carrier, yep, full of ice and a couple of sodas, an occasional brew…back about 30 years ago.I even used to think my horses had to be “halter plump”.  And nothing about this article offended me. Most other riders think endurance riders are nuts, I heard that for years before I decided to try it. That’s the real reason we have to be a secret society, so everyone won’t know how insane we really are (:>) and how we mistreat our horses (:>) (:>) Humor generally pokes fun at someone or something, and I appreciate Angie’s humor. Makes me laugh at myself, and, now I know that I’m not alone when I look at that bottle on the trail and think “I might need that, but I wonder who drank out of it, or worse yet, peed in it, oh well, pee’s sterile right, you can survive on it if need be…” (:>)(:>)(:>)
