If you keep expectations low, you don't really have to obsess over the lines. Its not a world cup and we aren't getting paid. Last year at Mt Washington I tried to remember lines from the track walk, but really all I had the capacity for was a few big line choices in key sections, and the rest was just survival.
The result of me trying to study too many lines was over practicing and being too exhausted for the race and then subsequently eating shit twice. I would have had a better result with a blind race run!
This year I am going to try and limit my practicing to maybe 4 or 5 runs over the two days to save myself for the big show.
