Y'all logged some monster times tho - color me seriously impressed! I'd have to go back and crunch the numbers from past years, but we might actually have the highest average (and median!) baseline times in a while.
All told, we've got the following stats rounding out the baseline competition -- with well over an hour of total 2pt held by competitors as a group:
| # of Participants | 31 |
| Total Minutes of 2pt | 71 |
| Longest held 2pt | 5:38 |
| Average 2pt | 2:30 |
| Median 2pt | 2:06 |
As for the individual competitors, please take a close look at the table below to check that we captured all your information correctly. If you believe you logged a baseline but do not see your information here let us know in the comments!

- In addition to reporting on the longest times each week, we'll also be measuring improvement by rider
- Also keep an eye out for tips and tricks to make the most of your practice!!
Happy 2ptober everyone!
When you forget to get a baseline time because you are too busy riding the horse...
ReplyDeleteWell actually I was going to get my time Tuesday but someone decided to be missing a shoe (on the same day my purchase check got cashed - coincidence, I think not) and then yeah last night I was evidently in the zone and blanked...so I guess I'll just two point for fun this month. ;)
I also forgot, so I will be joining you in the non-compete but still participating bucket, too.
DeleteThat, and getting a 2 point time on the OTTB girl after a week off seemed like a really, really bad idea. Especially since it was chilly and she had the zoomies.
Don't feel bad - I forgot too lol
DeleteThere are some impressive base lines times in there.
ReplyDeleteI'm already ready for no-stirrup November aka... bareback.
ReplyDeleteGood luck all. May your muscles be with you! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for organizing!
ReplyDeleteYay I'm so excited :D
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to see that I'm not the only one with sub 1 minute time! Gotta get my butt working (literally) and improve over the month!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've never actually been on a list sorted by first name that wasn't a contact list in a cellphone. It's cool being first!
ReplyDeleteWay cooler than the contact list because DAMN I got butt dialed A LOT.
I BOW DOWN TO THE QUEEN OF DATA.
ReplyDeletewomp womp.
ReplyDeleteI thought I forgot something when I rode on Tuesday... turns out I forgot to do two-point lol.
I'm so pumped! I've been lurking forever but now have a blog, have a horse and can participate! so basically any improvement will be a personal best hahahaha. I'm still gunning for most improved though... Gotta reach for something!
ReplyDeleteWoot! I'm excited! So, for this week, do we start now logging a time for the week? Since I'm horribly uneducated on 2ptober and OCD to boot lol
ReplyDeleteyup keep track of all your practice times, and practice often!! all you need to report to us is your longest sustained 2pt position time - during which you never lean on your hands and your seat never touches the saddle. we will have posts up to prompt your comment too!
DeleteFound some new to me blogs so that's nice.
ReplyDeleteHa- I'm well inside the first standard deviation. :D
