Discussion: all time standings

you were very close to picking up another 2 points. I was running with a couple of guys who were a good bit stronger than me from about 26 on. I tried to get away from them but they were running better than I was. I tried to force them to navigate. That dropped one of them. Then I kept the other behind me on the way to the last control when he slowed through the forest. I was quite motivated by the all time standings!

Yeah, it may seem like a silly thing, but it is quite an incentive; especially near the end when you're tired. I was really hoping that that big train that was behind Tom, Justin, and I would stay in tact so there would be a bunch of folks between us, but I think most of them were pretty toasted by the time we started splitting.
