Panic averted?

Ok, so it turns out there is only one route up the pass in the race - the way we didn't go. It's steeper but shorter so hopefully our time will still be around 48 minutes - leaving us a good buffer just in case things don't work out according to plan in those first 4 miles. At least we won't have to be too concerned at the start about which route we are taking - that is already decided.
