I'll bet you ran in and pulsed down with 30 seconds to
spare!  Well, that MAY have been what I would've done.

This ride brings up ANOTHER thought in my pea brain.

What about courses so difficult, most riders can't
make it in time?  What then?  I know the rules...and
can imagine how the RM could fix it for next year. 
However, some RM LOVE the tough trails and won't
change it.  So now, only the hard-riding front runners
can make time and even they take most of the time for
that distance.

Yes, I'd vote with my feet but has there ever been a
protest for such a ride?  What was the outcome if so?
