Event comments:

This was the first race that I would have made podium (3rd place). However, when they presented awards, my age group was combined with another group and I fell into the 50-59 age group. Don't quite understand this since it was a USAT race. I have never experienced this before...... I will not attend next year based on this. UNSAT...
