I can remember telling the head vet after I finished my first 100, "100
miles is ALOT further than 50."
And his response was, "Yeah, and it's more than just twice as far."
I wasn't expecting this to be the case. I went in with the attitude "Hey,
it's just 2 50's back to back."
As Tina said, "Yeah, right."
If you aren't prepared to go alot further than 2 50's, you aren't prepared
for 100.
On the flip side, for my horse, this wasn't the case. He was much better
prepred for 100's than I was...but then, he doesn't suffer in the same way
I do from sleep deprivation.
At the end of 50 miles, my horse is more tired than I am. At the end of
100 miles, I am alot more tired than my horse.
Just my experience.
