I'm definitely not killing it. In fact, I think I've been getting steadily worse.
I started out with a tentative upgrade from beginner to Master C and did this:
43 of 49
DNF (strained calf)
83 of 87 (still hobbling)
Did a Wednesday series with mixed Beginner/C/Master C:
127 of 138
98 of 121
107 of 118
This convinced me that for the big series around here I needed to downgrade back to beginner. I did and got this:
106 of 142
73 of 104
98 of 127
28 of 36
33 of 44
83 of 101
Also, mixed in there, just for grins, I tried a singlespeed race and finished
26 of 28
All of these count people who didn't finish as being below me.
With one race to go, I'm planning a big finish!
