I think it's perfectly normal to question all of this - especially since races often have glitches, etc. Sorry it didn't pay off, but maybe its motivation to try another similar type of race.<br />Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956724450988998624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441313713715572662.post-17683503317874573692013-03-21T17:16:08.458-05:002013-03-21T17:16:08.458-05:00Great job!!

Dang! SO close! I am surprised they do not take overall winners out of AGs there! I was 2nd in my AG at a race in Feb, and was hoping the first place winner (who was second OVERALL) would be bumped but she wasn't.

They often take the overall winners out around here but I race a lot more races with 10 year age groups than 5 years. I love it when they do 5 years and it def. helps with age group wins. ajhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851129364728161965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441313713715572662.post-2768467188205983092013-03-21T04:58:16.361-05:002013-03-21T04:58:16.361-05:00Wait, that actually IS a picture of my medal from ...Wait, that actually IS a picture of my medal from my blog ... is it gonna mysteriously be missing when I get home???Jim ... 50after40https://www.blogger.com/profile/14165153305680378261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441313713715572662.post-69320536773046427762013-03-20T23:18:22.743-05:002013-03-20T23:18:22.743-05:00They usually take out the overall winners here too...They usually take out the overall winners here too. And I can totally understand why you feel a little gypped. I missed out on 2nd place in a race because my timing chip didn't work.
