Ah Sarah - I've struck on a MUCH simpler way to manage this critical
issue. Just avoid the podium! Viola! I've never had a problem
remembering my podium finishes once I came upon this gem! ;-)

nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding
danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life
is either a daring adventure or nothing." ** Helen Keller **

Every once in a while, our team likes to send updates to our sponsors
on our racing. Maybe your team does too? The problem is that
remembering our podium finishes is kinda tricky. The OBRA website is
snazzy and has the data available, so I wrote a quick tool to go one
step further and limit the team results to "top-N" finishes.

http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=642c040d3102778c36073c258052bd95

Documentation: This tool lists all "top N" finishes for any OBRA
cycling team.
1. Find your "Team URL" on the OBRA website
(http://app.obra.org/teams). The default is for Sorella Forte (my
team).
2. Default is for top-3 (ie podium) finishes. Change it to whatever you want.
3. Leave "CSV Format" blank or 0 for normal output. Set it to 1 for
csv output (suitable for spreadsheets).

I, for one, welcome our OBRA website overlords. Perhaps they'll
incorporate this report (or something similar) into our OBRA website?

Feel free to send suggestions/comments/questions off list.

Thanks!
Sarah
