[QUOTE="UP Magoo, post: 1364095, member: 29635"] Transfer sections are a part of all enduros. I don’t think that transfer sections of under 2 miles are killing anybody. You reference Harrison, and I remember transfer sections that were over 10 miles. Lets take the pause you seem to have the most issues with, the one after section 4. You had a 40 minute pause there. The average B rider dropped 15 in that section (Lafferty and Bobbitt each dropped 2!). Last year, we ran that exact same section (but deleted the MiniMountain trail this year), and the average B rider dropped 13. So, I don’t think a 40 minute pause is inadequate in either case! If you dropped 15 in section 4, you had 25 minutes to gas, flour your nuts, and go 1.5 miles (takes 8 minutes at 12mph). Sorry, not enough time to shower and shave! Further, last year, we had a 5+ mile transfer (takes 12 minutes at 24mph) to section 5, with similar parameters – average B rider dropping 15 in section 4 and a 40 minute pause. Why do you feel that the pauses this year were inadequate (especially since, as far as I know, last years pauses – which were the same – were adequate)? My point with the B riders is that more B riders (16) DNF’d the C course, than C riders (3)! Does that mean that C riders are “better” than the B riders? Same with the A riders: of the 53 A riders that completed the B section, only 39 chose to continue on to the final section. I’ll grant that section 5 was challenging – but only due to the rain. Had it been drier, that section would have been the most fun all day! Due to the rain, it was a good test! IMO, enduros are supposed to be challenging. They should test your endurance and your skill. I thought the sections were representative of what should test the particular rider (sections 1-4 for all riders, section 5 for B riders, and section 6 for A riders). The rain made it a bit more interesting for sections 5 and 6. Mostly it slowed people down and took more points than we anticipated. As far as I know, we had no injuries in either of those sections (other than some bruised egos and wounded pride). [/QUOTE]
