Beta, I'm still appalled by my slowness. I spent some time helping the guy that needed the pump, twice, but what was I supposed to do, just leave him? I thought, the second time, I could have just dropped my pump off with him, but I'd be betting he'd catch me up later and not drop and I wouldn't flat in the mean time.

I didn't waste _any_ time at Controls except the lunch stop- I guess I could have skipped the sit-down lunch. Other than that, I was just riding as hard as I could. Maybe I could have pushed a little more on the flat center section. But it was residential, then raining. When we stopped at the shelter on the trail, that wasn't even for 15 minutes...

Couldn't have wasted more than 20 minutes being lost and missing that Kangaroo that you couldn't see it marked as Kangaroo.

Well, I'll know, if it ever comes up again, bank some time in the beginning and don't stop for lunch.
