RMOF Day 5. RG
Nearly got the Bonesaw today, a great battle. We were never more than 76s apart, though unlike yesterday there were a number of legs where there was a clear winner whether due to route choice, speed, or execution, and we were frequently seesawing back and forth within a minute either way. 10 was the worst control for both of us (naturally, a rocky cliff on a rocky hillside), while 14 was the decisive point where he got me by 63s with a superior route and took the lead. I was surprised because I had thought my route was solid - drop down from 13 to a flat, fast streambed for several hundred meters before climbing back up the hill - but Bonesaw's choice to stay high and save climb was apparently much better. I forgot that, hey, it's *all* runnable. I lost about 2min on 10, and ~20s in three different spots in the control circle in the rocks. Always the damn rocks.
