Crashes will happen. If you are worried about going down, don't race. The spring water corridor is wide open these days. I just pulled 14 stitches out of my elbow from King's Valley. And I was taken down by my own teammate. It is a race. A race.

I think it is so great! I agree with Jake in that seeing the results for the whole field gives me the opportunity to see my progress. Being fat and slow, that means I'm not going to be anywhere near 15th for a while, if ever, but the results are still a great motivator. (And isn't that what PIR is for?) I guess my biggest problem is that all of us folks that finish out of 15th are being punished because one person made a mistake. As Jake also said, you're always going to have people sprinting for 50th, fewer results aren't going to change that. If your goal is to discourage reckless behavior, I would think that some form of punishment for reckless riders would be a better deterrent than not having results. So, that's my plea for continuing to post full results.

To assist in this not happening again in the future we will only pick the top 15. If you wish to know your place and are not in the top 15, count.
