1) luckily (for me..) I wasn't riding my bike. the bike I was on ended up with a few bad spokes on the back.

2) this wasn't even the finish, it was like 3 laps to go, so idk what the other kid was thinking

3) it wasn't even cat5. this was a college race. I was helping to organize the event, so I only had time (and I may not be in the best shape ever...) for the INTRO CAT!! with the course being a 1km 6 turn course, it was pretty dodgy... I was expecting to be taken out by some n00b on a corner, not the flatest, straightest part of the course
