Iron Butt Rally

[Canadian FJR]

When discussing the Iron Butt Rally, I have heard the term Gold Medal finisher and Silver Medal finisher. What does this mean? I know that the folks listed with this type of finish did not win overall for those specific years.

You can ask Thane Siliker at the ALDERs Rally. He is a Gold Medal finisher. (Shameless plug for ALDERs Rally!)

There are point levels for finishing. If one gets the bare minimum of points they are a "finisher" and didn't DNF. Silver is higher and Gold Above that. Besides medal finishing there's the competition for standings.

IIRC means I read it once, but can't frickin' remember for sure. Knowing there are a few folks with IBA numbers 300 or lower....IIRC....is hedging one's bets.

I did read Higdon's 2005 and 2003 dispatches again this week though. The Red Pill or the Blue Pill?

That would be Hal Higdon. Bob Higdon's the IBA scribe...or used to be. I'm not sure who's writing this year but I believe Bob has reliquished those duties. That's too bad if true as he's a hell of a writer.
