RE: [RC] President's cup - Steph Teeter[mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of rides2far@xxxxxxxx There were very few metabolic pulls though which is also interesting at those speeds. >> Most over here are saying that they have figured out the metabolics, they know to train for the cardio-muscular effort of long races. The lamenesses are the main problem now. Personally - I don't think the horse is designed to maintain those speeds for those distances. Yes, they can go fast. Yes, they can go far. They have evolved for just such capabilities. But fast AND far...? I don't think there was ever a Darwinian need to outrun a predator for 100 miles...
