I would suggest the RoD is required either for separation or to make an agreed level-something that is far more important than losing a mile or 2 in a stream. I don't think there are many of us in the area world who go for a really tight 5 miles in a stream, there's always a bit to play with. Make the level and then the speed is my modus operandi.
