[pct-l] stats

[david at dalbey.org (David Dalbey)]

I think Glory, who was on the Walk video was on the CDT this year which
would have completed her triple crown.  I think she was like 19 yo or
something.  Anyone know if she made it?

:I have no idea of the youngest.  I would guess that its probably early

:people".   ...and I wouldn't be surprised if it was as high as 100 or
:as low as 15, but I guarantee you its not too many.  Even if its 200
