Btw, welcome back rkwaki!

Thank you sir, glad to see you still get in 196 hours of training a week

Hey who is that guy in the red jersey?

Sorry had to edit. Regarding TT in the lower cats I think it is important from a developmental standpoint. It is a great opportunity to show your weaknesses or holes in your training/diet/regiment as it is truly the race of truth. Little hiding, luck, surprises. Matt you are right that you don't get points for them but the 'developmental' points you gain are extremely valuable. It can often build confidence and show you are stronger than you think.
