Hi,
My teammate who is a Junior and raced in the 4s (with his Junior gears) said he finished 28th. He told me that he saw all three crashes on the last lap. I also heard that a former teammate crashed earlier in the 4s.
As far as the Masters go, the 45+ race was crash free but it was only 30 minutes. The officials told us on the line that they were cutting our race to 40 minutes (from 45) because of the crashes and other issues. Next thing I know they are saying 2 to go and I stopped my computer when I crossed the line and it said 30:33.
However, the Masters 35+ race was not as good (or lucky?). I saw two crashes and one with a Helen's racer looked bad -- backboard and ambulance ride after being on the ground for a long time. I hope he's OK.
