Jeez, I'm going to stop asking questions about rules

For the record Matt, I do agree with you. I did a mistake getting so close, learned my lesson and will not do it again. And rules was not the first discussion we had at the bar, the first *was* about tactics as my opponent won this race by 22 seconds because he made a far better tactical choice than I did (he did follow the reservoir wall where I went for the middle and he had more pressure and a lift!)
