You can understand my puzzlement when a check for $30 came today?? for 5th place!
To be eligible for the Omnium, one had to complete all 3 races! so two of the riders above me in points were ineligible.
Lesson 1 - Read the rules.
I also finished last in both the RR and Crit.......sure I had cramps, I really barely finished them both.
Lesson 2 - It pays to show up and finish.
Oh, while there were about 20 competitors, not very many did all three races.
Lesson 3 - It pays to be old!
Guess I am not too old to learn lessons.

Congratulations Randall. That's a tough category you've aged up into.
That's a funny lesson! And, like Emily, I don't think the racing gets easier when you "age up"...they seem to have more time to train!
Congrats Randall. It shows to never give up!
I am finding that 60+ is comprised of full time athletes.
