Casey, it is a race. It is initially all about being first or at least one of the leaders. Those are the results that matter. If you came in 45th, you really did not have a result, and it is silly to blame the promoter or the officials. You have overly high expections regarding the value of your $15 and your finish, as well as the amount of effort people should expend in exchange. We will miss you and your $15.
