Re: [RC] WEC and the US team finishing record - Joe Long

Something went wrong with this message the first time ... I'll try it again:

On Thu, 27 Jan 2005 23:41:30 -0600, Michael Maul <mmaul@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

From the unofficial finishing list - there were about 175 starters and 
63 finishers.

This is a completion rate of about 36%.

The US team finished 2 of 6 or a completion rate of 33%.

The discussion about whether the US team was hampered by their strategy 
isn't clear to me when the overall rate for the whole group is the same.

First, let me caution again that I don't know if the information that they were
required to ride together as a group is accurate.

If the strategy was to ride together as a group, instead of each rider riding
his own best pace, my concern is not the completion rate -- but that such a
strategy will not, can not, produce the best team time.
