Clarrification on DFL?

So today I ride the Sonny Hutchinson Crit.. Women 1/2/3/4...

applied lessons learned from last race...
Start with the pack.. found a wheel.. in the front.. held on...first few laps...
First surge.. held on... driffed back a little...
Second Surge... held on...
Third Surge.. get dropped off the back... there are two of us there.... continue race.. trying to get her to work with me.. .so we can get back up with the pack.. she's more interested in sucking my wheel...
I finally say... HEY take a pull..... she doesn't we get lapped... OK.. just keep racing... as the pack comes through the finish... she quits with the pack...
ME I keep racing and finish the LAP...
I didn't ask the official...about it at the finish... but when the results were posted... I was DFL...
I wanted to say... HEY I finished all 40 laps.. what about the gal that only did 39.....

I was I DFL.... or not?
