TIR Battling Bloggers Leg Difficulty Rankings
Edwin commented about how difficult his legs were according to the "Difficulty Ranking" that was placed on each one by the race organizers in the TIR Handbook.
Using the cross country scoring method where the lowest total wins, here is who had the toughest legs:
1. Tommy (18 points - 3, 7 and 8) - 19.81 miles
2. Edwin (18 - 2, 10 and 6) - 20.56 miles
3. Adrienne (45 - 1, 35 and 9) - 19.42 miles
4. Cassie (54 - 33, 16 and 5) - 15.73 miles
5. Jon (56 - 4, 34 and 18) - 15.54 miles
6. Katy (58 - 23, 11 and 24) - 15.27 miles
7. Sarah (60 - 31, 14 and 15) - 15.3 miles
8. Dave (63 - 22, 21 and 20 - tossed out 30) - 17.87 miles
9. Holden (68 - 25, 26 and 17 - tossed out 36) - 18.45 miles
10. Joe (68 - 37, 19 and 12) - 13.15 miles
11. Keith (80 - 28, 39 and 13 - tossed out 40) - 14.91 miles
12. Karen (88 - 32, 27 and 29 - tossed out 38) - 16.13 miles
The winner for the toughest leg of all of the Texas Independence Relay goes to Dana-Sue Crews of The Woodlands as she got bit by a dog on leg 14. See her dog bite here!
I probably should owe Dana-Sue an apology. Why? That is the one leg that we didn't run in the pre-TIR in late October, but with good reason.
The way that the leg was originally designed was for it to go off of Highway 90, on to a dirt road and then eventually back to 90. However, as one of the female runners was running this, I asked Jay, "Will the vans be allowed back here at night?" He said, "No." I then suggested to him a worst-case scenario of a physical attack that it may not be safe for runners to run alone, especially women. [We shadowed our runners a mile or two miles at a time during the night time legs.]

Edwin and Tommy both shows 7 points on one of their legs.
decimal point for Joe's is in wrong spot i think he only ran 1.315 miles.
Holden, thanks for catching everything. I made the corrections. Edwin's first leg had a course difficulty rating of 2 and that made his legs as equally as tough as Tommy's.
I also had Sarah points added up right, but copied Joe's leg difficulty scores into hers.
I think it should all be accurate right now.
Strictly speaking I ran more miles that Edwin. He may have covered 20.56 miles but he must of run only about half that.
