Results from the first race of 'cross Natz are posted.
Some people will bitch about the process, but aside from running qualifying races or rankings (huge pains in the ass logistically) this seems like the most fair way to do it.
The track makes it possible for someone to move up pretty quickly and the top guys from the previous year will be starting up front anyway. The strong guys will do well. There will only be one winner. Everyone will be racing their ass off...and having fun. The results will sort themselves out.
Maybe I'm ok with it because I ended up with pretty good spots:
8th in the 35-39 race ---> probably 2nd row after the call up's
5th in the B35+ race ---> front row
But everyone knew the protocol and the exact time that online registration would open.
I guess that those of us who use BikeReg on a regular basis had a little bit of an advantage as our personal info was already loaded into the system. My credit card # even auto-filled for me. That probably made a 10 place difference.
Now that we have that behind us we can move on to more important things...
Like what kind of beer to bring.
And fine tuning the form to be fast and rested in two week's time.

I suggest that trappist monk brew in the mega bottles, tasty and good for spraying in the victory podium.
