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.
Really I raced the 35 plus and must of zoned out..sure it wasnt the Cat 2 race ? The fields seemed smaller this year. Still a great race and a great time. It is good having an event rather than show up and leave.
edit..our race was cut a couple of laps at least.
