Thanks, Tom.

How rapid is rapid?  Over the course of say 20 miles, or are you talking 
minutes?

Looks like a lot endurance horses are probably entering that realm of 
shockiness.

I've had glucose levels all over the place.  The on-site results are a lot 
more accurate....tho we've still bounced around.  It's really neat to see, 
compare to the enzymes and electrolyte and hydration levels, etc.

It all makes sense.
