I agree.
We could definitely post elapsed times as well if people think it would
help them. I didn't make a note of my elapsed time for the two belt
races but I'm sure someone did.
One thing that might allow one to see improvement especially in a race
series is at what mile they were dropped. If you hang on for more miles
than last week, I would see that as an improvement. I guess try to find
the good parts of the race so you don't get discouraged would be my
advice.
Good luck.

When I was a cat 5, I was very concerned about average speeds and
similar
stuff when I rode and raced the bike. I soon learned that speed ain't
whats important(not in a road race anyway). Measure improvement by your
placing or by what you did in a race (attacked, chased, blocked, told
funny
jokes, etc) not by how fast you went after you got dropped.
If you really want to know how fast you went, buy a cyclocomputer with
an
elapsed time function and remember to press the little button when the
official sez "Go!" at the start of the race.
Pretty simple
