I decided a couple of weeks ago to quit pursuing my plan to enter Hugo in a limited distance endurance ride. We started out doing great with conditioning, but then between the hurricane/flood, Emily’s wedding and life I just wasn’t managing enough riding time. It wasn’t fair to Hugo to continue to push him into something he wasn’t going to be ready for.
I will say that the extra time that I had already put in has paid off. Hugo seems to be more comfortable going everywhere at different speeds. But he is still hard to catch. And now I don’t have to feel guilty on the days I choose to ride Otoelene. Maybe I will look for another ride in the Spring.
Changing plans is just fine! I do that a lot! Life does get in the way sometimes.
