I am glad that TTs do not count for upgrade points I would find nothing more scary than somebody who had been upgraded purely on TT points who then decides to jump in and do a cat 2 crit. Chris

TT's don't count towards upgrade points on the road, as far as I know. So if you're < 30 and you're a time trial specialist (or a triathlete who only occasionally does a real TT), you will forever be stuck in the lower cats. Fair? I don't know. Maybe TTs need their own categories, or it should just be "senior men/women" without cats.k

We already do have that categorization. It's called "sandbagger."

Perhaps it is time to consider a seperate categorization for the time trial when a Cat 4 rider is able to beat all the cat 3 riders, and all but 3 of the cat 1/2 riders. Also, how many age groups are enough, perhaps we need to have winers for every age? Perhaps we need pre and postmenopausal categories? Perhaps I should shut up?_______________________________________________OBRA mailing listobra@list.obra.orghttp://list.obra.org/mailman/listinfo/obraUnsubscribe: obra-unsubscribe@list.obra.org_______________________________________________OBRA mailing listobra@list.obra.orghttp://list.obra.org/mailman/listinfo/obraUnsubscribe: obra-unsubscribe@list.obra.org-- www.runbikeswim.net
