Re: [RC] Fwd: Man Against Horse 50 Miler Video - rides2far@xxxxxxxx

When you consider the fact that some of the people in video hardly look like 
the classic body types for ultra endurance they are really amazing.

When Dr. Q invited me to do this ride with them I expected some amazing looking 
runners. There were some too...but the 20 something year old lean & tan ones 
that I picked as "looking like a winner" were cramped up at the 1/2 way mark 
waiting for a ride in. Meanwhile this middle aged *big* guy who looked like a 
retired football player just kept shuffling along. He finished. There was a lot 
of that. Some of the women didn't really even look like they were in that good 
of shape but they just kept shuffling along. Maybe ultra horses, like 100 
milers need a little more "reserves".
