In response to:"Horses doing  multidays are generally going slow, 
eating and resting lots during each day's  ride."

Here's a useful statement from that study

"The surprise is, like in the previous study, the Pioneer riders 
are going faster than the single day rides. Although the riders in 
the Pioneer events rode between three and 5 days in a row to 
complete the Pioneer event, they were as a group riding faster 
than riders at the single day rides in the same regions on similar 
terrain in a similar climate.

The riders that complete all days of a Pioneer event ride on the 
average 4.2 percent faster than the average ride time of single 
day riders."

There is a lot of other interesting information provided by Truman 
Prevatt using the past 11 years of AERC data at
