If the R-1 rule is broken, what happens to N+1?

hahahah . .
same thing happened to me in the city to surf. .
but i went over at the exact same time as a friend of mine, so i know what my time was, that half hour stop in matilda bay at the start of the second lap really didn't help us. was such a good day though, looking forward to next year's ride

Yip, when you look at how many riders finished say within a couple of minutes, a small improvement in time would shift you way up there.
On a personal note, the one thing I'm going to do different next year is find a way of getting up that dam tiny steep Mead's Hill (or whatever it's called) far quicker. Some technique tips?
Some general (sweeping) observations about the riders on the day (that I saw anyways) that I think would help them get a faster time.
...and hey - I'm as guilty as my next fellow rider but still worth talking about...
1. Many riders do not go down to the low handle bar position (even *into* the wind) which I found surprising.
2. Many riders cruise downhill to get a rest - even when they could have instead gained speed to get up the other side whole lot quicker).
3. Failing to get into a group is way way sloooower... - I think that is the number 1 lesson learnt for me.
ok who has some more?

Hey - I got 616th. My lucky number! 
I see one of my mountain biking mates finished third. Not bad for someone who only road-rides as training for his real riding.
Another of my MTB mates (a female one) finished 9th in the women's section. (Another road-rider only when she can't get out on the real bike .....)
Cheers,
Graeme
