 Nina has all the number for the SE. I might ask her real nice - and
 after my last comment about her age I might have to promise to be real
 nice for a long time - if she can address this.

Okay Truman you owe me!  Although I would probably keep over in shock if you 
were nice to me!

in the 100 milers held in the SE so far this year:

6 rides all BC's came from the top 4, 4 were MW, 1LW and 1FW 2 of the BC's 
were first to finish, 1 MW and 1LW.  And the FW was a tie for 4th.  

75 milers

1 ride  BC was tied for 2nd, a HW and only 3 finished.

55 milers

1 ride BC was 3rd won by a MW

50 Milers

22 Rides FW 4 1st and BC LW 2 1st and BC MW 1st and BC HW 1 1st and BC.  Top  
3 finishers getting BC, 2 FW, 4LW, 2 MW and 1 HW.  The rest were in the 
4th-10th.  2 FW 2 LW 3 MW and 3 HW.  

35 Miler

2 Rides 1 MW 1st and BC 1 HW 1st and BC

25 Milers

19 Rides.  1 FW 1st and BC 3 MW 1st and BC.  Top 3:  1 FW 5 MW and 4 HW.  The 
rest of the BC's came from 4 MW and 5 HW in the bottom 7.  

Truman isn't playing fair, he knows I love research!  Anyway, this is SERA 
sanctioned rides, in the SE region to date.  I think I am missing 1, maybe 2 
rides that have yet to send me their results.  So my research is incomplete 
at this time.
