[RC] 160km unnofficial results - Steph Teeter

Two riders finished the 160km event. Tough conditions, heat, humidity,
fairly technical trail - ups/downs through the palm oil forest, turns, rocky
stretches, a course to pay attention to. Cooler in the evening, but then the
challenge was pacing the trail in the dark. Headlamps in the jungle forest
at night only cast so much light on a very dark trail. Each rider had a
motorcycle escort so no worry about getting lost in the dark, but then a
different challenge of noise and fumes.

Each hold had a cutoff time based upon a 10km/hr minimum speed. Ok in
theory, but the OC applied the cutoff speed to each vetcheck, even the
earlier ones. The two riders from Brunei missed the cutoff at the 2nd hold
by 10 minutes and were eliminated. I think it would have been better to wait
until later in the ride to apply cutoffs - the riders were pacing slowly in
the heat, saving their horses for the cooler night riding.

Endurance is still a new sport in this country, still things to learn. But
they really really want to do Endurance, and really want to learn. They need
more horses, and educational clinics on conditioning, feed, pacing etc. And
they recognize this, and they want to do the right thing. I'm sure they'll
get there. This ride was a big step.

First place finisher:
Shamsuddin Roni riding Malin - ave speed 10.11 km/hr (from ar-Raudhah)
***this mare looked fantastic! Finished with the same perky attitude and eye
as when it started. Finishing CRI was 44/44 - unbelievable.
