Re: [RC] Tevis Discussion, Here's a different question - M Paul latiolais

As Tevis crew this year, I followed all seven of the Pacific Northwest riders. Some started in the front, some in the back and some in the middle. They ALL completed. The first in the group to complete started in the middle. The last to complete started in the front pack.

I always love to follow the discussion regarding the
Tevis. My first attempt 2 years ago, found me never
even leaving the fairgrounds (after traveling all the
way from Missouri) to go to Roby Park.  <My horse had
a major lameness caused by a shoeing mistake> But
that's not the issue.
There has always been such a "push" for folks to start
in the "Front of the Pack", and others saying if you
don't go out at least in the middle of the pack, you
will not make your  time cutoffs.  For those of you
experienced Tevis competitors, my question is..
Can you start in the very back of the group and still
finish?
I heard about the pile ups that ocurred at the ditch
close to the start and other pileups  at the
bridges(meaning you couldn't get around the other
horses and you had to wait, burning your time up).
Would starting at the back of the pack reduce some of
the waiting for the pile up to lessen?
Just some middle of the Holiday musings..
