I've always counted wins as wins and podiums as podiums, double counting the wins.

Including top 10s would be triple-counting the wins.
When I put together my "resume" for my last upgrade I wrote X wins, Y other podiums, Z other top 10s. Not that any of that really mattered for the upgrade since I had plenty of points, I was just trying to look overqualified.

In other news, I spent nearly $400 on some s-works shoes today. That **** is like designer!!!
Once I zoom out and have experienced the shoes for a while, the whole thing will really open up my perspective on consumerism and productization within cycling retail markets. I have experience using bargain bin and second-hand pairs of cycling shoes, but I literally just bought the nicest pairs of shoes that I can get, at a retailer, at full MSRP before my SDBC team discount.
Going forward I will have a mature and complete scope of what it's like to buy and ride different shoes, and will be able to make the most informed decisions. But for the time being:
You getting mad, and I'm getting rich. You getting maaaaaad, and I'm getting rich!!!!

My tally for 2016 so far, double/triple counting:
Wins: 8
Podiums: 11
Top 10s: 21
Not double/triple counting:
Wins: 8
Podiums: 6
Top 10s: 10
(44 races total, includes training races)
It does seem weird to say "podiums" are just 2nd & 3rd, if you're not double-counting wins, so yeah I guess double/triple counting is the right way.

The way I see it is a win is a podium.
What's the deal, you shopping for a new team? Going pro?

Ha, no.
Just touching up my race spreadsheet.
I don't really need it anymore since there are no more upgrade points to track, but I still track results in a spreadsheet out of habit.

15 top 5s in 20 races is ridiculous. That's dominant.

I was there for at least 2 of gsteinb's non-top-5s. It's like finding a 4 leaf clover. Twice.

I usually do, but it seems to exaggerate the top 10's & podiums. Then I couldn't remember if I was counting them this way or not, or which way was the "right" way. #gettingold

commu*ist spy
let's see...
7 total races (all crits)
1 win
4 podiums
6 top 10's
handful of DNF's in the 1/2/3 races, none of which I took very seriously (so I'm not counting those), actually I did try very hard on a couple, so maybe I should count them.
probably not catting up until next year, or until I get my endurance up. I feel like having all the upgrade points from crits means I'm unproven in the road races, and I know I'd get my ass chewed by those cat 2's.
so what does a cycling resume look like? is it like a regular resume, except with all of your results? can't people just go on usac and find you that way? I personally would have trouble filling an entire page with 7 races..

Does anyone know how to turn off the new "you've been quoted" emails? I can't find the setting, and they're really annoying.
