Re: Fw: [RC] You can't beat LD - Diane TrefethenHi Deb - I too know what ER is :) LD as you guessed is Limited Distance. BC is Best Condition. DNF is Did Not Finish. DQ is DisQualified. BOD is Board Of Directors. RT or R&T is Ride & Tie. LSD is Long Slow Distance. EDPP is Eat, Drink, Pee and Poop. Many of the regions are abbreviated: NW, SW, SE etc. PNER is Pacific Northwest Endurance Rides, SERA is Southeast Endurance Riders Association. RM is Ride Manager or sometimes Ride Management. VC is Vet Check. P&R is Pulse & Respiration. Back when Endurance was young, there were both pulse AND respiration criteria at each vet check. The volunteers would take both so the process got to be called taking P&Rs. When respiration was dropped as a bona fide criterion, the acronym P&R was so well ingrained that we still use it today (besides, taking Ps hasa whole different connotation <big grin>). Sometimes you can Google an abbreviation with the word "endurance" and find what you are looking for, ie, SERA endurance. Some rides are either well known enough to go by just initials or too long to type out on the keyboard over and over, ie, OD (Old Dominion), DG (Desert Gold), SASO (Shine and Shine Only), etc. BTW here are two websites with a list of common abbreviations used in chat rooms and on Internet forums: http://www.mistupid.com/internet/chattalk.htm http://www.techdictionary.com/chat.html Hope this helps and don't hesitate to ask any question you want. Not that you'll always get an answer, but if you repeat your questions and YELL AT US, you'll probably get a response. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
