Corrections to posts about Marathon

In an earlier post, I said "several" competitors had course penalties for being under time in section E. Let me correct that. Three Singles (Sue Denny of Great Britain, Sherri Dolan of USA and Zsolt Rimacsik of Hungary) had course penalties but apparently all for different reasons. Sue Denny apparently (I don't know precisely how the 26.6 penalty points were accessed) "stopped" several times in the final 500 meters. I did see much of that iem and she did have the slowest, most halting walk I've ever seen. Guess some of the Ground Jury thought it was too halting! Sherri Dolan's course penalties occrred when, after leaving hazard 3, she put a groom down for equipment repair (broken breeching strap) but didn't come to a complete halt. I don't have any information of the Hungarian's course penalties. Additionally, two Pairs drivers had course penalties. So...let me correct my earlier post to "some drivers had course penalties for a variety of reasons."

Katie Whaley had a good cones round with two balls down and 5.16 seconds over time. Randy Cadwell (the first of our Pair Team members) had one ball down but was almost 12 seconds over time.
