Re: [RC] Number of pulls vs who was pulled - Barbara McCrary
My previous message may not have gone through, so I am
re-sending it.
For our ride, we still send out ride results to all
riders. These include arrival and recovery times at each vet check,
finishing position, the DNFs and which vet check they were pulled and the pull
codes. This takes a lot of time, but our riders tell us they appreciate
the results and use them as training tools by which to compare results from
previous years. We've been sending ride results for over 30
years.

Subject: RE: [RC] Number of pulls vs who

Beth, Jody has a point that in the old days, this sort of information was
often at least disseminated to those who rode specific rides in the form
of spread sheets that listed when everyone had cleared vet checks, and where
riders had been pulled. You get the same sort of thing in the "live"
Tevis coverage, where you can watch when riders reach checks, and track their
individual performance throughout the ride.
Some of this sort of information can be gleaned from the vet card study
that is in its pilot stages now. Certainly times into checks should be
recorded on the cards, as well as the pertinent information of when pulls
occur--at least to the point of which vet check. Hopefully at some point
that data will be to some degree publicly accessible.
