Way back a long time ago, I traveled to Iowa City for a CX race and placed third in the Cat 1-2 class but since I was over 35 at the time, I was also given1st in the Masters category. Unbeknownst to me, it was the Iowa State Championships so I got a 3rd place medal in the 1-2 championship and a 1st place trophy for Masters. Not bad for an Illinoisan.
