I completely agree on the sandbaging issue. I raced my first cross race this weekend. I finished some where in the middle and when I started checking the licenses on USA Cycling a whole mess load of Cat 2s and 3s were popping up on a Cat 4C cross race. I'm sorry but that is just unfair to those of us who are just getting involved in the sport and are not as fit as others yet. I still had an awesome time and can't wait to race next weekend.
