I know more people who have completed Tevis, not by being "fast," but by 
being consistent, having great crews who could get them through the vet 
checks right on time, but who also are blessed with horses who can do 
it.  I rode as far as Robinson this summer (I got sick, nothing wrong at 
all with my horse), with a friend who went on to complete.  We started 
in the third pen so we were at the rear.  Peggy knew that she had to be 
constantly moving forwards and she did.  We didn't waste a minute!  She 
finished with about 2 hours to spare as I remember.  I know several 
other people who have finished using very similar game plans.
