Discussion: race simulation

my plan was to attempt to catch you and then run with you as far as I could while still maintaining contact with the map. I figured small chance of that happening, but I had nothing to lose. so I took the left route and caught you. running alongside you was good training for me. I definitely ran harder and pushed thru some sections that I normally would have stopped to read the map. I tried not to think about what you were doing and pick my own routes. bad choice on 13 and bobbled 16, but all in all I think it was a good day training.
