Yes, I had close personal experience with this rule as I rode along with
my girlfriend Sunday. On her third run, she didn't brake before the
hard left after the first slalom, and went (sideways, I think) the wrong
way around the first cone in the second slalom. "Don't worry about it!
Go! Go!" I'm shouting, figuring that she's better served by completing
what was looking like a really good run. Her second run had been very
good, so why loop back and make a really slow run?
Of course, we get to the finish and the timing lights were haywire. She
could have had a re-run, if I had gotten her to go back around the cone
the right way.
Ah, well, the things you learn. From now on I (and anyone I'm riding
along with) is going to damned well going to loop around DNF'd cones,
unless it means running over courseworkers to do so.
Cheers
