We are only talking 5 minutes a hold here. I sure piss more than that 
away on the trail taking care of my horse if there are long loops with 
few holds.

So if one counts in the overhead time for a hold - time get in and come 
down and stop the clock, one also needs to count the time taken on trail 
to water and/or let the horse eat between checks on long loops. I 
suspect it pretty much evens out in the wash.
