Why is it called endurance? (long true story)

by  Nicco Murphy, San Diego County

I noticed that my friend`s dog was about to trod on a rattle snake as we took our evening walk along the top of a local hill. Calling her now would probably just stop her right on top of the rattler so I let her go on. These snakes rarely seem to strike the first person on the trail and take time to warm up to a biting fit. The dog made it over safely stepping on and waking the snake in the process.

If you would like to cross the finish line looking like the person your horse would be proud of, I would urge you to do the following:

1. Three days before each ride, you need to eat at least 60% of your meals as complex carbohydrates.

2. During a ride, constantly take in fluid, electrolytes and simple carbohydrates.

3. Immediately after the ride, have a meal of complex carbohydrates.
