[RC] NC back on-line - rides2far@xxxxxxxxI'm back at camp and have e-mail. I've been sending in reports on spotty phone service so may have some communications. The three "turtles" weren't 2 hrs. behind. Closer to 1:10 behind, so that was the spread at Gate 1. Val came in at a fast canter, whipped off the saddle and trotted fast to their buckets. No "easing in" for Ali. The rest of the racers came in shortly thereafter. Word was Val started Ali 10 minutes after the pack (just an estimate) to keep him sane. 2nd check. Surprised to see several horses had caught up with Val and they all came in together. Farzad Faryadi's horse looked great and was right there with her. Pulls so far: Roxi Rivkand Elroy Karius Bob Walsh Kelsey Kimbler Laura Hayes I'll get all these times keyed in now that we're back and you can analyze what you want. Bill got some great shots of the horses going down the trail at speed so I'll start downloading those shortly. It's 3:30 PM, the sun has come out and it's getting pretty warm but there's still a cool breeze. The rain didn't amount to anything other than made it discouraging to get out of bed. No more than an hour or so of fine mist that didn't amount to anything. We're expecting the front runners in shortly at Check #4 64.5 miles. There was some kidding earlier that Val's horse wasn't quite himself...he was being kind of *good*. :-) She seems very happy with the situation. I did get a shot of the head gear though.
