Yup. He was pretty defensive. Apparently it was our fault for getting lost - despite the pace vehicles taking a wrong turn, as experienced racers we should know that it is our responsibility for knowing the course. It's not like this happened a good way through the race - they took a wrong turn BEFORE MILE 2!
He also made some comment about the "extremely slow pace" of the women's field, which boggles my mind - we had an AVERAGE of 20 mph when the crash happened, so not sure how much faster we should have been going on a hilly course....
I have since found out that this particular promoter doesn't have a good attitude towards women's racing in general.
Oh well. We decided we are safer not doing this race anyway.
Robyn - the next three weeks are brutal for me at work. Let's try to get together after the 4th of July.
