    I would like to respectfully dissagree.  The purpose of the rule in LD
    including the recovery time in the ride time is to discourage overriding.
    The race doesn't end until the pulse is down.  On the other hand, if riders
    were to be allowed to come in at 6 hours, and then take another 30 minutes
    to recover, the required minimum speed would be decreased, significantly
    lowering the conditioning and horsemanship required to do an LD.
    
    At my rides I always warn those who are going slowly about this.  The pace
    is still slower than the usual CTR (6 mph, except on very hot days) pace as
    used here in the midwest.  Everyone also please note that because all rides
    in the UMECRA country also have a CTR, most of the newer riders do the CTR.
    The LD participants are (on the average) quite experienced and many ride
    quite fast but sensibly.
