Re: [RC] does weight really matter? - heidiOTOH, Tim Twietmeyer (#510) ran with the horses at Tevis this year, and was 10th across the finish line. But he wasn't slowed down by the holds required of the horses -- he could just keep running. Thanks for pointing that out, Lynn. I had a private post on the subject as well. When one compares times, one has to compare actual "ride" times to "run" times. To get an actual comparison, one would have to delete the hold times (three-plus hours) from the 10th place horse's time. So the top runner was actually three-plus hours slower than the 10th place horse...
