Re: [RC] Hickory Creek Sunday's 50 - Sharon Levasseur

12 hours max time for a 50 includes holds, so for example if you've got 1.5 hours of holds, ride time can only be 10.5 hours.

I know this b/c my first three 50s were ride times of 9:53 (7 min before max), 8:43 (a little over an hour before max), and 9:48 (11 min before max). ;-)

As I told Lynn this morning, being out on trail that long gives you a great comparison if/when you start riding faster. After our first 6-hour 50 Zephyr and I felt like a million bucks. Those extra hours take a toll... but they were the right thing to do!

Thus speaks someone who is riding her first 75 this weekend and plans a ride time of 9-10 hours. I'm gonna be one hurtin' puppy on Sunday.

Lynn,

That is FANTASTIC and an inspiration to the rest of us 'not yet endurance
riders' that there may be hope!  Especially with your finish time.  And
under those conditions as well!  What do you feel contributed to such a
great finish time for your first 50.  How did you feel when you finished?
What did you do first after you made sure your horse was taken care of?

Where do you train in Waynesburg?  How is the weather out there?  How have
your weather patterns been over the last couple of years for your training?
Are they normal or are you experiencing unusual weather as most of the
country?

Great information on the Easy Boot Epics and Bares.

 I'd be lucky to get in under 11:59!  And Ranelle would have to be pushing
or dragging me across the finishing line.  Because you would be damned if I
would get that far and NOT FINISH - even if I was dead!  Just kidding
Ranelle but you have to admit it is a funny picture.

Hickory Creek Sunday's 50


Ivan ( my 10 yr old morgan gelding) and I FINISHED our first 50!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!! We slogged through the mud and the rain, crossed raging streams, climbed and descended slick hills and finished!!!!!

Overall vet of A.......
Finished 7 of 9 that completed out of the 12 that started.....
Ride time of 10.25 hours!  Not to shabby if I say so myself!
And I'M not dead!  And neither is Ivan for that matter!


For those into the Barefoot or bare and booted..... We had Easyboot Epics on the front and Easyboot Bares on the back. Regardless of the SUCKING mud, rocks, and water.... they ALL stayed on for the 50 miles.

Woo hoo!! I'M an Endurance rider now!!!!!
