[RC] 2005PAC: Gate 1 - John TeeterThe start was smooth and dark - the loop was dark and not smooth. a few crashes - some potentially serious - but these are endurance riders and they tough it out. Miguel and Moro Tigre went down (and rolled) back up but Miguel is not moving his right arm much - pain - Tigre is ok. Others as well, though I know not particulars - Steph's comment was that it was likely the most dangerous horse thing she's done ... The front runner came in at 17.52 kph. most people were @14-15kph. Madiya and Yevette and Meg are riding tail end with Diago Garcia. There was 1 elimination at the first gate that I know of. No one mentioned that sand - everyone mentioned the dark though. For those of you watching the SoloCaballos presentation, there are automatic scrolling things in place which switch you from 160/160open/120kmYR events. There are 5 teams running: Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Uruguay, and USA. USA team members are (I think:) Cia, Deborah, Dinah, and Valery. ALl made it through the first gate. more later, johnt =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
