Interesting that Dead Roman is 3 years older on his home page, than on the posted race results.

Dead Roman,

you say you got dropped by a bunch of semi pros. Were the 3 guys who finished ahead of you in the last recorded time of 1:15 and change at an average of 19mph semi pros? How about the 18 year old girl who put a spanking on you? In this thread alone, you exaggerate about your sprinting speed, your age, your competitveness in this race, and I think likey your racing category (You say you were going to do a Cat 4 crit on sunday. I doubt from these results that you possibly could be a Cat 4, if you are, you're a very OTB Cat 4).

To quote Cat Stevens, you're young that's your fault. I would suggest going through life as an exaggerating braggard is ultimately not going to get you very far. As a bike racer, the only way to get better is to be brutally honest in your self assessment. Almosts, coulda, woulda, shoulda, but for, they were semi pros..., is a recipe to always suck.

Sorry for the rant but I have a low tolerance for obvious BS. How about trying some hard training, and post an honest race report that reveals some effort and grit? Then I'll be impressed regardless of the placing or the mph.
