Tivers - Abu Dhabi

[Leonard.LIESENS@cec.eu.int]

Hi Tom,

Good to hear from you again.

I will make the race in Abu Dhabi on the 24th of January. Seems that Val Kanavy will be there too and 20 others europeans and australians.

It would be nice to meet you there and figure out by seing you how you manage to manipulate your keyboard that fast ... maybe you have 6 fingers on each hand :)

Concerning Carbs, since I'm competing with Orfeo on the highest level (130Kms and 160 Kms), I ALWAYS used carbo supplementation (one ounce every hour after 60 kilometers). Orfeo did never quit. I can't compare with the 'not use' of carbs because I did it all the time and since it works for me I don't want to take the risk to change anything.

I did it at the Dubai World Championship ; I did it too at the European Championship in Portugal (flat terrain, quite hot temperaure, fast race, no time to rest, galloping all the time). In Portugal, Orfeo covered the 160 Kms at an average sped of 18,2 Km/H, which is fast, isn't it and he never quits; I had still a lot of horse left at the end of the race and I think I could go a little bit faste. Effects of Carbs ???? I don"t know ???

Best regards

Leonard, from Belgium
