Tevis – Details I (and an update)
| July 25, 2013 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
If you wanted the nitty gritty of Tevis, these posts that are going to have it. I read a lot of blogs of people doing endurance as I prepared for my first Tevis and loved the details, so if that’s you, that’s why I’m writing this post!!!!!! But first an update! – Farley looks really good. […] more
Tevis 2013 – First look
| July 23, 2013 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I don’t know where to even start. Everytime I start my Tevis story, I end up only 1/3 through the ride, at 3500 words and complete chaos. So, today I’m posting some pretty pictures and I’ll tell you the end before the beginning, and hopefully reassure those of you that saw that I got pulled […] more
Last thoughts on Tevis and the Gremlins

First the important things…. My rider number is 161 and my stall at the Fairgrounds is in Barn 4, stall 16 (on the end of barn 4 by barn 3). If all goes well you won’t see me at the stall until after 4a sometime on Sunday :). It’s predicted to be a balmy 100*F […] more

I do not believe I have properly introduced my 2013 Tevis crew. Funder – a blogger in her own right, she is the endurance person of my crew, and an aspiring 100 mile rider who almost bagged her first one 4 weeks ago. Delightful, funny, and less than tolerant of my whining (but Funder, it’s […] more

We are going to take a break from biology and talk about more lighthearted things! Which doesn’t mean *I* am taking a break from the biology. I’m currently working on a muscle post since I became curious about the optimal time for muscle “development” post work when both me and Funder noticed increased muscle on […] more
Heat Training Week 2
| July 10, 2013 | Posted by Melinda under Vet & Sports Medicine |
Looks like we are continuing to make strides towards better heat tolerance during exercise and I’ve decided that for week 2 I won’t bore you with more tables of data. I’m headed to Disneyland on Saturday and will be gone for a couple of days, and by the time I get back, it will be […] more
Ring bone!

If you are enjoying these biology posts, I have a recommendation for you. I recently acquired a new textbook “Equine Exercise Physiology” by Hinchcliff and it’s fabulous!!!!!! Unfortunately it’s pricey and your library may or may not own it….but if you do enough leg work on the internet, you *might* be able to find a […] more
